Papers of the Nevins-Perkins-Griswold Family of Connecticut 1731-1964

The papers, 1731-1964, of the Nevins-Perkins-Griswold Family of Connecticut consist of ca. 500 items and include correspondence (in part, typescript copies), legal documents, financial records, scrapbooks, photographs, and printed items. As most of the items in the collection consist of personal correspondence between various members of the extended family, or of deeds for sales of land, there is not a great deal of information of general historical interest. (Notable exceptions are the "Civil War" correspondence, 1861-1866, and the letters - in part, copies - of Roger Griswold to his wife.) Primarily, the value of this collection is in the biographical, financial, and legal information which, in summation, provides a substantial history of the extended family throughout the nineteenth century.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
