REC/MSS/121. Connecticut Magazine

The Connecticut Magazine, described itself in its company letterhead as “Incorporated under the laws of Connecticut for the purpose of collecting in permanent form the various phases of history, literature, art, science, genius, industry and all that pertains to the maintenance of the honorable record which this state has attained.” The Connecticut Magazine was the successor to Connecticut Quarterly (1895-1898). In its day, the Connecticut Quarterly described itself as dedicated to “showing the manner of life and the attainment thereof in the commonwealth of a diligent people.” Both magazines included photographs, drawings, poems, reminiscences, stories, and historical articles. The Connecticut Magazine appears to have ceased publication after volume 12, number 3, in 1908. The collection contains correspondence, manuscripts submitted for publication, and photographs.
