This collection provides access to periodical titles from the Maine State Library’s holdings that are represented in very limited quantities. In many cases, only one or two issues of a publication have survived, or the library holds only scattered examples rather than a complete or sustained run. Because these titles are represented by such small holdings, they are grouped together here rather than organized as standalone collections within the repository.
Even when only a small portion of a publication survives, these materials can still provide valuable insight into Maine’s communities, organizations, and local publishing efforts. Additional issues may be added to this section as they are identified or digitized.
Help Us Fill the Gaps
The Maine State Library is always interested in locating additional issues of Maine periodicals that have not yet made their way into our collections. If you have copies of any of the publications represented here—or other Maine periodicals that may be difficult to locate—and would be willing to allow us to scan them, we would welcome the opportunity to hear from you. Even a single issue can help preserve an important piece of Maine’s publishing history.
