Page from a 1918 catalog of the E. Ingraham Company of Bristol, Connecticut, now available online through the Internet Archive<\/p><\/div>\n

For many years now Archives & Special Collections has been working to get more and more of our archival collections online, available to researchers off-campus and across the globe.\u00a0 One of the ways we are doing this is by participating in the collaborative network of the Internet Archive<\/a>, which provides access for the\u00a0general public to historical collections that exist in digital format.\u00a0 We recently put up a set of product catalogs from the historical records of the E. Ingraham Company,\u00a0which produced clocks and watches for well over a century in Bristol, Connecticut.<\/p>\n

Researchers can access the catalogs directly from this link: http:\/\/archive.org\/search.php?query=collection%3Auconn_libraries+AND+E.+Ingraham+Co<\/a>\u00a0and will see catalogs of the clocks and watches sold by the company from 1881 to 1940.\u00a0 I want to extend my thanks to\u00a0Tom Koenig, Catalog and Metadata Librarian, for cataloging the items prior to the scanning and to Michael J. Bennett,\u00a0Digital Projects Librarian, and his assistants Allison Hale and Kathleen Deep, for their expert scanning and work to get the items on the Internet Archive.\u00a0 This project is a great example of\u00a0the\u00a0ways the UConn Libraries staff collaborates on projects and\u00a0I am grateful for everyone’s efforts.<\/p>\n
