A Welcome Messagefrom the President & Executive Director

Dear Friends,

When we hired a new Executive Director in January 2007, Kate Steinway inherited

exciting opportunities as well as major challenges, one of which was publishing an

annual report for the years 2003-2006. These years were consumed by several

all-encompassing projects that changed our institution, including: taking over the

management of the Old State House; creating new visitor experiences at that National

Historic Landmark; and concurrently, planning and upgrading our heating, ventilating,

air conditioning, and fire suppression systems at CHS, a project that required a

complete rehousing of almost all of the Connecticut Historical Society collections.

During this time, our CHS bi-annual report, unfortunately, got pushed to the bottom

of the “to do” list. With all that has been accomplished from 2003-2006, this report is

just a brief overview of highlights from those years.

While the Board and staff are very proud of what we have accomplished during the

past four years, we are even prouder of our relationships with people like you, who

have supported us through your donations of historical objects and documents,

participated at programs, exhibitions, and events, and made generous financial

contributions and gifts of your time.

As we plan for the future, we look forward to enhancing our services to you by

improving access to our collections (both online and onsite) and by providing programs

and opportunities to make Connecticut history come alive.

None of this work would be possible without your continued support and commitment.

It is with our sincere gratitude that we share our 2003-2006 Annual Report with you.

After three years of exhibit design,

program development, capital improve-

ments and management alignment, the

Old State House proudly celebrated this

momentous project with a series of

special events for the public.

The coming together of the CHS and the

Old State House aligned the important

missions of education and protecting and

preserving objects, documents, and

architecture and contributes to our

understanding of the deep and diverse

cultural heritage of the citizens of our

state and the impact their actions have

had on the world.

Providing opportunities for visitors to

connect with history in personal ways,

making each experience meaningful and

relevant to their individual lives through

engaging and informative exhibits and

complementary programming, is the

core focus of the new Old State House

exhibits and programming. To accom-

plish this goal, extensive research was

undertaken and guidance sought from

consulting firms and scholars, resulting

in a variety of highly interactive activities

for people of different ages, interests, and

learning styles.

Over 700 images and 380 authentic

objects and documents from the 1500s

through today are on display in History

Is All Around Us, the new exhibition in

the William Mortensen Gallery, which

also features videos, audio, touch

screens, and hands-on activities.

Using sound effects and narration, the

Aetna audio tour of the historic rooms

takes visitors back and forth through

time where they can “witness” some of

the important events that occurred in

the very rooms in which they are stand-

ing at the OSH.

Creating a vivid immersive experience,

local artist Ted Esselstyn, created a one-

of-a-kind learning environment for the

Emily Seymour Goodwin Holcombe

Education Center. During the week, stu-

dents bring history to life using move-

ment, sound, improvisation, and role

playing in this unique and enchanting

space. On the weekends, families can

explore together the richness of

Connecticut history through dress-up,

arts and crafts, and programming

designed especially for them.

Please join us as we continue to celebrate

the restored prominence of the new Old

State House. The CHS is proud to have

played such a vital role in the Capitol

City and is honored to have worked

beside so many corporate and civic

organizations, and individual citizens to

make this happen.

Connecticut History, the Hartford

Public Library, the Hartford Courant,

and the many individuals who have

Over 1,800 items were added to the Museum Collections through gifts,

bequests, and purchases during the last four years. With each new

acquisition, Museum Collections evolved in scope and depth, increas-

ing opportunities for new insights in research activities and providing

additional subjects for exhibitions. Space limitations do not permit us

to recognize the many extraordinary donations and acquisitions made

during this time. However, we would like to highlight several promi-

nent additions to our collections in this report of activities. One notable

piece was included in the award-winning CHS publication Connecticut

Valley Furniture: Eliphalet Chapin and His Contemporaries, 1750-1800;

others added greater dimension to CHS collections focusing on the

history of Connecticut’s people, technology, and the arts.

To the incomparable CHS furniture collection were added a late

18th-century chest-on-chest from the renowned Barbour collection,

a pre-Revolutionary tall case clock, an elaborate Victorian side-

board, and patterns and photographs from Hartford furniture

restorer Paul Koda.

The growth of the CHS’s visual arts collection continued with the

addition of several oil portraits and miniatures from the 18th and

19th centuries, as well as a print by the American Impressionist

Childe Hassam. A unique collection of tools and samples from

the lost art of hand-beating gold leaf was added to the museum’s

collection of technology.

New celebrity items included inaugural gowns donated by recent

Connecticut First Ladies; Mark Twain’s traveling bag; and Katharine

Hepburn’s golf clubs, tennis racquet, and apparel.

We are particularly proud of the headway made in creating greater

access to our collections during the last four years. Watch our website

in the coming months as we prepare to unveil our Museum

Collections database (over 10,000 object records, most with images).

We also continue to partner with other Connecticut institutions to

expand the popular digital library, Connecticut History Online.

Museum Collections

CHS exhibitions provide opportunities

for visitors to explore Connecticut’s histo-

ry through historical artifacts, hands-on

activities, and immersive environments

that excite the imagination and connect

the past with the present. Generous fund-

ing from individuals, corporations and

foundations permits us to continue devel-

oping these important exhibitions.

PERMANENT EXHIBIT

Chance, Choice and Change: Coming to

Connecticut (Opened April 2004)

TEMPORARY EXHIBITS

Heroes, Heartthrobs and Horrors:

Celebrating Connecticut’s Invention

of the American Comic Book

(10/19/03 – 9/7/04)

This engaging exhibition captured the

excitement and magnetism of comic

books by highlighting Connecticut’s role

in the creation of the first comic book

and the impact of comic books on

American culture using examples pub-

lished here in Connecticut.

Are We Clean Yet? (10/10/04 – 6/5/05)

Infusing fun into the everyday, visitors

were encouraged to answer the question,

Are We Clean Yet? Using items from CHS

collections, the exhibit was a lightheart-

ed look at the pursuit of cleanliness over

two centuries.

Connecticut Valley Furniture by

Eliphalet Chapin and His

Contemporaries, 1750-1800

Concord Museum: 1/29/05 – 6/5/05

CHS: 6/23/05 – 1/15/06

This traveling exhibition, complemented

by an award-winning publication, drew

audiences from far and wide. The culmina-

tion of the Hartford Case Furniture Study,

the exhibition was an example of the col-

laborative work that is being done by the

CHS, our academic network, and the gen-

erosity of our donors and supporters.

September 11, 2001: Connecticut

Responds and Reflects (9/5/06 – 10/1/06)

Created in conjunction with the 5th anniver-

sary of the event that changed America, this

powerful exhibition will travel to a different

Connecticut town every September through

2010, providing the public an opportunity for

remembrance and celebration of the lives of

those whose loss irreparably changed our lives.

DISPLAYS IN CHS ENTRYOver the years, the entrance hallway has

come to life with displays providing

insights into the world around us, as

seen through the eyes of Connecticut

residents. During the last four years, it

has been our honor to present: Political

Threads: Three Decades of Connecticut

First Ladies’ Dresses, 1971-2001;

Witness to War, (organized by the

Jewish Historical Society); Picturing

Connecticut: Prints and Drawings of

Connecticut Towns and Cities, 1830-

1900; and Camera at War: World War II

Photographs of the Pacific Theater

ExhibitionsEach of our major exhibitions has been

a cause for gala celebrations and an

opportunity to raise needed dollars in

support of our educational initiatives.

The CHS brings history to life for almost

20,000 students in grades pre-K through

12 annually, making us one of the largest

providers of museum education programs

in Connecticut. Our hands-on programs

help students find connections between his-

tory and their own lives, connect to school

curricula, and show kids that museums are

fun places to learn!

MUSEUM TOURS & OUTREACHIn both 2003/4 and 2004/5, the CHS

served over 16,000 students from across

Connecticut through thematic museum

tours, primary source workshops, and

classroom outreach programs. In the

2005/6 school year, we served a record

9,000 students through programs in their

schools. Grants from local foundations

and corporations and the Institute for

Museum and Library Services enabled the

CHS to pilot and implement a three-year

Hartford 4th and 5th Grade Social Studies

Initiative, which provided a series of muse-

um visits and classroom programs for

Hartford students.

INTERDISTRICT SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPSInterdistrict School Partnership Programs

grew out of a State Department of

Education initiative to promote cultural

diversity and increase student achievement.

Fourth and fifth grade classes from urban

schools partner with classes from suburban

or rural schools for visits to area museums

and sites. Over the past three years, the

Interdistrict Programs have received almost

$624,000 in state, federal, corporate, and

foundation support, making it possible to

expand our services from 837 students in

2003/4 to 964 students in 2005/6.

HISTORY DAY IN CONNECTICUTThe CHS sponsors History Day in

Connecticut, part of the National History

Day Program, which encourages young his-

torians to develop their research and analy-

sis skills. Approximately 1,100 students

annually present their papers, exhibits, doc-

umentaries, and performances at district

competitions, with the winners advancing

to the state contest in the spring.

TEACHING AMERICAN HISTORYThree-year federal Teaching American

History grants are awarded to school dis-

tricts, who, in partnership with universities,

libraries, and museums, work collaborative-

ly to improve teachers’ knowledge and

understanding of U.S. history. Between

2003 and 2006, the CHS was a principal

partner in three new projects funded

through the Bridgeport Public Schools and

the Hartford Public Schools. Activities

included the development of classroom his-

tory kits, hands-on workshops, a Historian-

in-Residence program, and coordination of

scholarly lectures.

Library holdings have grown significantly over the last four years.

Manuscript acquisitions covering every aspect of Connecticut’s

history from the papers of political figures such as those of former

Hartford mayor William H. Mortensen; to documents from the

Hitchcock Chair Company Museum and the archives of the

prominent Hartford furniture restorer Paul Koda; to an important

collection of the Hart and Jarvis Connecticut Western Reserve

records from 1811-1883 which share the story of America’s west-

ward expansion, all have found a place among our ever growing

collections. Also during this period, through the generosity of Mr.

Cornell Lewis, the CHS acquired the records and papers of the

Greater Hartford YMCA. These important documents trace the

history of the founding, growth, and management of the largest

YMCA organization in the State.

COLLECTIONS PRESERVATION AND ACCESSCritical to meeting our mission is the conservation work we oversee.

Without these efforts, many primary source documents would

be forever lost. Through CSH’s efforts, important manuscript

diaries, several books, and multiple maps underwent conservation

treatment including:

The Diary of Nathan Hale, one of the most important diaries in

the library collections and one of CHS’s premier treasures. The

diary ends about two weeks before Hale was captured and hanged

by the British during the Revolutionary War.

Governor and Company of Connecticut and Mohegan Indians, an

extremely rare account of Native American tribes and their relations

with settlers, published in London in 1769.

Capt. Parker’s Chart of Saybrook Barr (1771), the only copy known

to exist of this early nautical chart of part of the Connecticut coast.

A PLACE FOR RESEARCHThe CHS welcomed twelve New England Regional Fellowship

Consortium fellows to our research facility. Their research covered

a broad spectrum of topics as diverse as our collections themselves.

It is our honor and privilege to welcome scholars, academics,

students, as well as the public to our state-of-the-art library

facility each year.
