Popular collections include the Hartford Town and City Clerk Archive, a comprehensive record of the City of Hartford; the Hartford City Parks Collection, which documents the growth and extent of the city\u2019s pioneering efforts in creating and developing municipal parks; and the <em>Hartford Times<\/em> morgue, a vast collection of images from the no-longer-published daily newspaper. Heavily used by students, independent scholars, and researchers alike, the center also offers periodic programming, including the upcoming <em>Among Friends with <\/em><em>Ed Johnetta Miller<\/em>, a retrospective of the work of the award-winning fiber artist, quilter, teacher, curator, and lecturer. The exhibition, which kicks off on July 19, 2019, and runs through September 28, focuses on pieces that speak to Miller\u2019s close ties to the Hartford community. The Hartford History Center is open Tuesdays through Fridays, 1:00\u20135:00 p.m., and by appointment.
