Scope and Content Note

From the Series:

This series includes several Stanton Bird Club publications as well as those from various organizations of interest to the Club, most notably the Maine Audubon and National Audubon Societies. The series also includes several unpublished manuscripts.

Publications include: the Club's newsletter, the Chickadee Chronicle, which was first called the Stanton Bird Club Newsletter (Winter 1989 and April 1990 issues) until the name was changed in July 1990; the Club's Programs and Field Trips brochure, which includes its "calendar of activities" or schedule of programs, speakers and bird walks for the upcoming year; the Thorncrag Bird Sanctuary brochure, which provides information on the cultural and natural history of the sanctuary along with a map of the trails and rules of the sanctuary's use; a self-guided nature trail booklet for Thorncrag; an informational brochure on the Woodbury Sanctuary' a pamphlet explaining the Thorncrag Nature Guides Program; a brochure giving information on Club membership; and several copies of the anniversary booklet, Fifty Years with the Stanton Bird Club, 1919-1969.

The series also includes several copies of Birds of Lewiston-Auburn and Vicinity published in 1918 by Carrie Ella Miller, a charter member of the club and its first treasurer. One copy most likely belonged to the author as it is heavily annotated with additional notes, dates and places of sightings, along with pertinent news clippings.

Manuscripts include a play about Thorncrag written by club member Mabel Merrill entitled Forest Magic; a paper, Meeting Maine's Mammals written in 1945 by club member Samuel Stoddard and one by Mary Percival, Trees, Shrubs, and Flowering Plants that Attract Birds, 1945.
