The My Country Society, Inc. was founded in 1967 with the purpose of publishing a journal, My Country, related to American history which many of you likely remember. Initially, the journal was distributed throughout Litchfield County to schools, historical societies, libraries, town halls, banks, and other places. Later, it became available by subscription. The publication schedule varied, but typically several issues were produced each year. New and established authors were encouraged to submit manuscripts. The Society also awarded  scholarships to Litchfield High School students. In 2008, the Society ceased its operation and merged its assets with the Litchfield Historical Society. The Society agreed to publish articles of historical interest in the spirit of My Country on its Web site.  Since that time, staff have brainstormed several ideas for items of interest to include.  We expect to launch the site with a few such articles in the next month or two.  If you have suggestions for articles please let us know!  We will be sure to post the direct URL here when the page is up and running.

Meanwhile, the Records of the My Country Society have been processed with the support of an NHPRC processing grant.  You can see the record of our holdings in Archon or stop by during library hours to peruse back issues of My Country.
