Charles Jeremy Hoadly (1828–1900) was an American librarian and historian who served as State Librarian and director of the Connecticut State Library from 1855 to 1900. He insisted on spelling his surname as "Hoadly," though most of his extended family spelled it "Hoadley. In 1855, the Connecticut State Library was small and underresourced, holding only 3,000 volumes. During his 45-year tenure as State Librarian, Hoadly vastly expanded the collection, acquiring a remarkably complete collection of legal reports and statutes of Connecticut and other US states, as well as of Canada, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Thomas Day donated hundreds of books. Hoadly envisioned the library as a collection primarily for the use of legislators, judges, and lawyers. Later on, he also collected materials on Connecticut history, other state government documents, and the complete works of American statesmen. Hoadly's collection development philosophy favored completeness over comprehensiveness. Between 1857 and 1890, Hoadly edited the Records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven (2 volumes) and the Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut (12 vols). These are the definitive editions of the state's colonial records. He subsequently edited and published two volumes of Revolutionary War-era records of Connecticut before his death. Hoadly received an honorary Master of Arts degree from Yale University in 1879 and a Doctor of Laws degree from Trinity in 1889. FORN-SHELF-0519-BB-2408-HK1944
