The Index to Connecticut Special Acts, 1944-2008 is now available online. Kudos to Indexer Cheryl Fox for this major accomplishment!
Together with the recently released General Index to the Private Laws and Special Acts of the State of Connecticut, 1789-1943
legal researchers and historians now have access to 220 years of Connecticut legislation not included in the General Statutes.
Both indexes are also linked from the State Library’s Public and Special Acts page.

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability is March eBook of the Month Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Posted by lynne in New Resources @ CSL, updates.add a comment
At present, there are roughly a billion motor vehicles in the world. Within twenty years, the number will double to 2 billion, largely a consequence of China’s and India’s explosive growth. Given that greenhouse gases are already creating havoc with our climate and that violent conflict in oil-rich nations is on the rise, does this mean that matters will only get worse? Or are there hopeful signs that effective, realistic solutions can be found?
In Two Billion Cars, transportation experts Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon provide a concise history of America’s love affair with cars and an overview of the global oil and auto industries. Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability will be available to Connecticut State Library patrons March 1-31. If you already have a NetLibrary account established through the Connecticut State Library, visit www.netLibrary.org and log in. If you do not have a NetLibrary account, you can create one from any State Library computer.

New in Digital Collections -
A General Index to the Private Laws and Special Acts of the State of Connecticut, 1789-1943
This large PDF file allows online indexing for the first time to a valuable and hard to find area of Connecticut law and history. Special Acts and Private Laws are enactments of the Connecticut Legislature that never got codified into the General Statutes, but carry the same force of law. They include such things as town charters and amendments, establishments of corporations and nonprofit organizations, and individual petitions for damages or divorces.
The Index is also linked from its entry in the Connecticut State Library catalog.
