Our newsletter features museum news, local history notes and interviews.
The SHS began publishing a consistent newsletter with Volume 1, Issue 1, starting in February, 1984. The early newsletters were a single-sided page. That first issue was titled Sanford Historical Society News Letter, and it wasn’t until Volume 1, Issue 5, of June, 1984, that the title Log Marks first appeared.
In a March 28, 2011 interview conducted by Rick Goodwin for the SHS, Don Marquardt confirmed that he wrote the newsletter for that first year and named it Log Marks, the same title that he used for a column that he wrote for the Sanford Express newspaper. Log Marks has been published every year since 1984.
The SHS publishes electronic issues of the Log Marks newsletters from April through November via email. You can share these full-color newsletters with friends and family members.
You may download, read, or print the December, 2022 sample issue of Log Marks by clicking the button.
