Phase 1 of our project, which is currently being uploaded, includes the Rockville Journal 1911-1968, with issues through 1953 available as of December and upload of the remaining issues continuing in the coming months.

These papers would not have been digitized and made available without support from community members, CT Humanities, the Connecticut Society for Professional Genealogists and the Rockville Bank Community Foundation.
