Newspaper Sources
The following are the newspapers often cited at TCS and the abbreviations we use. Many underwent name changes in their publishing history and this can be confusing. We have attempted to represent the masthead names as accurately as possible and these are grouped alphabetically below. In most cases, long-running papers like the Hartford Courant are microfilmed or digitized in one continuous series under the primary title. Many of these newspapers are also available at the Connecticut State Library or other public and academic libraries and historical societies across the state.
NOTE: We strive for accuracy down to the last detail, including the page number for the newspaper articles we cite. Others, perhaps wisely, omit them and, unfortunately, the databases containing these papers do not always give the page correctly. If we notice, we pursue further but a great many over the years have escaped. If searching in the paper online or in microfilm, look in the issue of the date given. If citing from TCS, only use the year/month/date.
