We should soon see some of the Hagaman Library's archival photographs posted on the Connecticut Treasures website-
http://cslib.cdmhost.com/ctlibs/home.php
This is a wonderful website for anyone interested in seeing historical photographs of Connecticut.

The website is provided by the Connecticut State Library and Library Connection, a non-profit cooperative of 27 academic and public libraries. The Project has assisted libraries in digitizing selected items from their collections, making them available to the public through the Internet. Below are a selection of East Haven photographs that we should soon be able to view on the "Treasures" website. The photograph album from which they were taken was put together by Donald Chidsey with additional commentary by John T. Brereton.
