Historical/Biographical Information: 

Roger Grindle was born and raised in Rockland, Maine.  He graduated in 1959 from the Farmington State Teacher’s College with a B.A. in Education.  He earned his Master’s degree in History from the University of Maine in Orono in 1962. He is the author of several books about Maine history and its granite and lime industries. 

Contents: 

This collection consists largely of research note cards concerning a variety of subjects including schooners, the lime industry, and the granite industry. 

Notes on Arrangement: 

Boxes 1983-2000 contain boxes of note cards, arranged as Grindle had them.  They include records of schooners in boxes 1983-1990 and 1993-2000; boxes 1990-1992 record St. John Wood boats.  Boxes 2001-2004 contain Grindle's note cards in their original order, stored in bundles in photo boxes.  Most boxes contain approximately two (2) drawers worth of Grindle's cards, so often two groups of unrelated cards may be stored together.  Box 2004 also includes folders containing photocopies of clippings of interest.  Box 2005 contains more note cards, as well as microfilm and audio tapes. 

Arrangement: 

As received.
