Background
|
|
The University of Hartford grew out of the merger in 1957 of three smaller institutions: Hillyer College, Hartt School of Music and Hartford Art School. In March 1958, a three-ton anchor from the USS Hartford arrived at the University's new campus. |
| Scope and Content |
|
This collection documents the early history of the University predecessor, Hillyer Collection. It contains minutes, correspondence, photographs, memos, and many of the original legal founding documents. Of particular interest are several oral histories. |
