Research
Volunteers have been working hard scanning old Winthrop-related newspaper clippings and making them searchable by keywords. If you need help navigating this, you should contact Bob Faucher: bob@winthropmainehistory.org We encourage you to come in to the Winthrop History and Heritage Center and work with us on your research!
Newspaper Clippings – Organized by folder, and each item is named with the person or place or event. Within a folder, we recommend that you use your browser’s search function (usually CTRL-F) to search for keywords or names.
