How to Find Archived Editions on TurleyCT Community Publications

To find archived editions, go to the ARCHIVES section of turleyct.com and choose the archive that matches the publication you want. The site separates its archives by publication: the Valley & West Hartford Press archive covers 2021–2024 editions, and the LIFE PUBLICATIONS archive covers 2021–2025 editions. Open the archive for the relevant title and browse the editions listed there.

What the site publishes

TurleyCT Community Publications describes its main product as a monthly news magazine delivered to more than 75,000 homes across ten towns. The site presents two publication lines with their own archive pages:

The homepage also links to a separate site, ValleyPRESS Extra.com, and includes sections for archives and advertising.

Step-by-step: locating an archived edition

1. Open turleyct.com. The homepage lists the publication lines and the archive links.
2. Decide which publication you need. If you are looking for the Valley & West Hartford Press, use its archive; if you are looking for LIFE Publications, use that archive instead. The two cover different date ranges, so the choice depends on the title and year you want.
3. Select the ARCHIVES link for that publication. The site labels these as "ARCHIVES" under each publication heading, with the year range noted alongside.
4. Browse the editions for your year. The archive is organized by edition year within the stated range (2021–2024 for the Press, 2021–2025 for LIFE).
5. Check the other publication if your year is not listed. A 2025 Valley & West Hartford Press edition, for example, falls outside the range shown for that archive, so it would not appear there.

Expected result: you reach a list of archived editions for the chosen publication and can open the one you need.

Common sticking points

• Wrong archive for the year. The two archives have different end years. Searching the Press archive for a 2025 edition will not work; check LIFE Publications or contact the publisher.
• Archive vs. advertising links. The site groups "ARCHIVES & ADVERTISING" together, and the advertising path leads to sales representatives rather than editions. Follow the ARCHIVES link, not the "TO ADVERTISE" link.
• No search box mentioned. The site does not describe a keyword search for archives, so plan to browse by publication and year rather than searching by headline.

If you cannot find an edition

The site provides a contact route for story ideas and press releases, and lists its address and phone number:

• Mail: TurleyCT Community Publications, PO BOX 725, Farmington, CT 06034
• Phone: (860) 651-4700

For a missing edition, calling and naming the publication and year is the most direct way to ask whether a copy is available. The site does not state whether back copies can be purchased or whether archives are free to access, so confirm those details with the publisher.
