Information for this web site has been ongoing in some form or another for roughly nine years. At this point, it is difficult to attribute where specific details or information came from. The simple act of buying so many pieces over the years, and hanging onto all the variations gives a broad base of reference. Conversations with countless Hartland collectors further adds to the topic. Hartland printed dozens, and probably hundreds, of pieces of different literature, tags, boxes, sales information, invoices, and brochures. While I have some originals and some photocopies, there simply has to be a bunch more of it out there.

While this page is already getting to feel like a speech at the Academy Awards, let me just thank everybody who has shared any information with me over the years. The list below can never be complete, but I will try to add information about the sources as I stumble across them.
