We have received notice from Damon at the Connecticut State Library that they are nearing the end of the New Haven Court Record project and no longer need us to do unfolding. The July 8th volunteer opportunity has been cancelled Sarah is reviewing all of the work that has been done. They have other projects, but have not made a decision about which one to start. They will be in touch and when they are, we will let you know.
