Newspapers
The society has thirteen feet of newspapers, mostly Boothbay Registers. That newspaper was founded in 1876 and shut down only briefly a few times. Much of the collection was given, reputedly, by the newspaper in the 1970s; the balance came from individual donors. Almost every year since the late 1970s, the newspaper has given us a bound copy of the preceding year. Aside from a short list, we have compiled a detailed 100-page list of every issue we have in the collection, as well as issues elsewhere: at the Lincoln County courthouse, the Boothbay Register office, and Maine Historical Society. We have also listed all other newspapers we have, such as the Boothbay Advance or the Pemaquid Messenger.
