Prominent Diseases in Early Scarborough

Posted on January 8, 2024 by Don Taylor

Rescheduled for April 7, 2024 – 2 to 3 pm – Scarborough Public Library Meeting Room.

Prominent Diseases in Early Scarborough
By Stephen Spaulding, MD

We live in an age when much is understood about infectious diseases, and there are effective
treatments to many of the diseases. But in the 17 th -19th centuries that was not the case.
Epidemics of lethal diseases were feared, “consumption” killed many, and even more common
infections could become fatal. This presentation will give an overview of the diseases that our
Scarborough predecessors faced, their impact on life in southern Maine, and how our forebears dealt with them.

Register on the Scarborough Public Library SHS Events page, or telephone the library (207) 883-4723 to register.

Upcoming: Mapping Scarborough and Prouts Neck.

Posted on December 19, 2023 by scarbo7_wp

Now available via YouTube. Mapping Scarborough & Prouts Neck
by Phil von Stade.

Prouts Neck Historical Executive Director Philip von Stade will cover the evolution of Scarborough maps from 1605 to the present, from cartographers like Champlain to Google Earth and Apple.  More than just directions from place
to place, maps served many purposes. Some were marketing tools. Later they could provide historic perspective. Others were used to delineate needed infrastructure, school and political districts and impacts of climate change. And so often they are works of art, that encourage us to engage with sense of place and time. Local sources like the Osher Map Library will be discussed along with internet resources, and the importance of aerial and satellite views.

December 3, 2023 – By Philip von Stade
