We are also glad to help with all of your performing arts research needs. This is the Official page for the Allen Library at the University of Hartford. The Mildred P. Allen Memorial Library provides reference, circulating, and online materials in the fields of music, dance, and related performing arts programs. The Allen Library was originally founded as the Hartt Library in 1938. In 201
7, the Allen Library was moved into a new 6,475-square-foot space on the lower level of the Harrison Libraries building. In this location, the Allen Library is a “library within a library,” with its own entrance and where it maintains a distinct identity. It continues to serve as a learning hub and intellectual center for The Hartt School, and its services, collections, and facilities remain open to the entire University community. There are five full-time staff members and a team of student workers at the Allen Library, working diligently to provide our users with high-quality resources and services.
