Scarborough Historical Map Tour
1871-2024
By Dominic Tracey
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.

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.
The Scarborough Historical Society and Scarborough Public Library are offering a
program on Sunday, December 3, beginning at 2:00pm at the Scarborough Public
Library.
The Scarborough Historical Society has scheduled a full roster of programs for the
coming year. The next program on Sunday, January 7, 2024 will feature Dr.
Stephen Spaulding discussing Prominent Diseases in Early Scarborough.
