Scope & Content |
This collection includes copies of published articles on various topics in the history of Winchester, most written during the late nineteenth century. The first part of the collection contains typed copies of articles, some of which combine clippings and typed information. The second part includes a collection of articles mounted into scrapbooks, plus some loose clippings (mostly now photocopied). This collection has the appearance of being the work of a local historian, perhaps a member of the Winchester Historical & Genealogical Society, attempting to collect local history at a time when there was no History of Winchester. |
Admin/Biographical History |
Prior to the appearance of The Winchester Star, Winchester did not have its own newspaper. Occasionally, Winchester columns appeared in other newspapers, including the Middlesex Journal 1854-1867, Middlesex County Journal 1868-1873, and Woburn Journal 1873-1913. The Star first appeared late in 1881 and is still in operation. The Winchester Press, which carried numerous historical articles, was published from Oct. 1900 to Dec. 1902. The Winchester Record was a three-volume journal published January 1885 to January 1887 by the Winchester Historical & Genealogical Society. |
