Researching Genealogy and Local History

Because we focus on documenting the history of Wesleyan University, our resources for genealogists are limited but we are happy to answer any questions you might have. Our collection has some information about the history of Middletown, Connecticut, as well as biographical information for some students, faculty, and administrators.

Family history researchers may wish to consult with the Godfrey Library in Middletown, Connecticut, which specializes in genealogy.
