Much of the material in this collection complements and fills in gaps in the records of the Hartford National Bank and Trust Company (HNB&T) also located in Archives & Special Collections. Records dating from 1792-1976 should be used in conjunction with its materials and finding aid. Records dating from 1977-1995 document the bank's consolidation with the Hartford National Corporation and its subsequent merger with the Shawmut National Corporation in 1988. The Hartford National Corporation (HNC) collection also documents its merger with the Connecticut National Bank (CNB) in 1982. As a result of this merger, the HNC collection possesses over 80 linear feet of records produced by that organization.Because of the important roles played by the HNC and the CNB in Connecticut's banking history, the records of both banks have been classified as separate series even though the CNB was one of the HNC's many merger banks. All records produced by other banks that eventually merged with either the HNC or the CNB constitute the third series of this collection. Series I and II are divided chronologically into five subseries that represent the numerous titles assumed by each bank since its establishment. Series III consists of two alphabetically arranged series that list banks absorbed by the HNC and the CNB, as well as several unidentified records and items. Show less
