Seminary Equipment Needs; includes office and department sizes, 1981

A collection of materials relating to the law school campus and buildings. The collection was noted in documentation as having been artificially created but no information on where the original material came from was recorded.

Much of the collection is related to the purchase of the former Hartford Seminary Campus on Elizabeth Street in Hartford and the subsequent renovation and other construction work on the campus to ready it for the Law School. These materials include reports, drawings and significant correspondence bewtween the Dean and leadership at the Storrs campus. Materials related to the construction of a new library in 1994 are part of the collection related to the Elizabeth Street campus.

A large collection of photographs individiually cataloged by building are part of the collection. As noted, this collection was desccribed as being artificially created so the origin or provenance of the material is unknown.

A note on the photographs:

This collection contains photographs which were compiled and organized as a separate collection in the early 2000s. For the buildings collection, a two letter abbreviation was given to each building and this coding has beenmaintained. VH for the 1800 Asylum Avenue Campus and WD for the 39 Woodland Street Campus were added. In 2023, the University took possession of Mackenzie Hall which had been occupied by the Attorney General's office since the 1980s.
