Last Week on the Scholar

We apologize for being late on this week's Scholar update.  With the annual appeal in full swing and the increase in patrons visiting the library we've been utterly swamped!  Last we we uploaded a huge amount of biographies and genealogies to the Scholar, for the most part drawing from the store of scanned K, L, and M books in storage.  We are also thrilled to report that the collection of meeting records from the Mason's Hiram Lodge in New Haven Connecticut is also available for viewing on the Scholar!  The records are not indexed yet, but they are certainly a priority.

This Week in the Scholar

In 1924 two brothers from Middletown, CT opened the Dunn Funeral Home at 530 Main Street.  The Godfry Library is lucky enough to have exclusive access to the records of the Dunn Funeral Home records from 1910 to 1966, from before the official location was even opened!  Before the official funeral home opened caskets were built in the local furniture store and viewings were held in the families' homes.  And now all eleven volumes of these records are available on the Godfrey Scholar!  In a few weeks we'll have them indexed and searchable as well.

We've also added more genealogies, biographies, and a few more records from the Doolittle Funeral Home.
