Excerpt from The Annual Report of the Connecticut Historical Society: Containing the Reports and Papers Presented at the Annual Meeting, Held on May 20, 1952 The struggle against many obstacles to be overcome, the courage and persistance shown by those embarked on the new venture, and the road upward to final success are part of the life of a young organization. All this Should not be lost to mind in later years when prosperity has crowned its efforts. In the year 1825 a small group of men, prominent in our State, conceived the idea of forming an historical society, for the pur pose of discovering, procuring and preserving materials for the civil, ecclesiastical and natural history of the United States, and especially of the State of Connecticut. In the month of May of that year, the General Assembly passed a Resolve incorporating The Connecticut Historical Society, and named thirty-one persons as corporators. The names of these men, all successful in their var ious occupations and of in uence in their communities, indicates that the Society was builded on a sound foundation. The important thing to remember is that these men were vitally interested in this undertaking and rendered much personal service to the Society through the years - they were not just names.
