Looking at the Past for Scarborough’s Land Conservation

SHS/SPL Program
May 5, 2024

Andrew Mackie will discuss a mapping project recently completed by the Land Trust that looks at development changes in the town since 1970. He will use this data to support a bold conservation plan moving forward. He will include recently completed acquisitions by the Scarborough Land Trust and some that are in progress. He will also discuss the Town Council’s resolution regarding 30×30 and the current Open Space plan for Scarborough. 

The next program will be held on Sunday, June 2 when Neil Piper, an agricultural historian and Senior Appraiser for Farm Credit of Maine, will discuss Farming in Maine at the time of Statehood.         

Seating is limited, so please reserve a seat at www.scarboroughlibrary.org/SHS

Genealogy Research – Family Files

By Don Taylor, Historian

The Scarborough Historical Society has many resources for genealogy researchers.

Resources include SHS Family Files, Digital Collection, Bill Tolman Memorial Database, Obituaries, Cemetery Records, Genealogies, Vital Records, and the Linwood Dyer Genealogy Collection.

My first recommendation for researchers is to review the material in our SHS Family Files.

The SHS Family Files Collection comprises 647[i] file folders (about 15 linear feet) with information on various surnames and several key individuals. Besides specific details, the file folders often include pointers to other records, such as Vital Records. Several file folders have been digitized and are available electronically through our Surname Files Webpage.  Contact the Society via email (ScarboroughHist@gmail.com) for the availability of the files not included on the Surname Files Webpage {Library | People | Surname Files}.

(Use the searchbox below to narrow your view to specific surnames[ii].)
