Biographical Information

This page contains links to biographical databases, sketches of Connecticut Governors and of Judges & Attorneys, resources to research past Connecticut General Assembly members and State Officials, as well as indexes to biographical files that are available at the library. Keep in mind that most biographical entries are for well known historical figures (think George Washington), or prominent Connecticut people (think Governor Ella Grasso or actor William Gillette). If you find a name in one of our indexes, please contact us. We may be able to have copies made and sent to you.
