Program Description

The CTDA is a community of members from across the State who believe that the stories and experiences of every person and group in Connecticut are essential to all of us. Keeping and sharing them creates a common cultural understanding and a more prosperous historical legacy. The CTDA is dedicated to maintaining, delivering, and preserving a wide range of digital resources for the people of Connecticut.
With over 3 million digital objects, the CTDA is the most prominent digital cultural heritage repository in the State. It is a Service Hub for the Digital Public Library of America, combining the CTDA’s collection with 45 million other objects preserving the history and culture of America.
The CTDA also provides training, internships, and other educational opportunities for interested students to connect with the cultural heritage community.
