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.

Our next volunteer opportunity will be on July 8th from 10-2 at 75 Van Block in Hartford. Those that are interested in helping with unfolding New Haven Court Records, we would love to have you join us. It is a fun time to get together and talk to each other and we have uncovered several interesting documents. Please bring your lunch and join us.

Reminder there are no business meetings in July and August.
