Historian, Genealogist, Musician, Boat Builder, Author, Raconteur - there is only one Ralph Stanley. Ralph bears many titles and awards, but for the Southwest Harbor Public Library he is, most of all, a friend. Ralph started using the library as a child and continued as an adult, graduated to Trustee, to President of the Trustees, and, in 2013, became our first Trustee Emeritus. Since 2007 he has spent hundreds of hours patiently identifying people, places and vessels in the Digital Archive. He gave the library his vast collection of photographs, The Ralph Warren Stanley Collection, in 2014. For years he has told us stories of his family, friends and adventures on Mount Desert Island. Archivists have written down almost every word and fact – a treasure for the collection and for the community. This is his chef d’oeuvre, The Stanleys of Cranberry Isles…and Other Colorful Characters, Ralph’s own story, based on his own research and in his own words.

Nellie Carroll Thornton descended from early settlers of Southwest Harbor and was related, in one way or another, to practically all of her neighbors. She inherited her aunt Mary Ann Carroll’s notes for a planned history of the town. Nellie was the author of the SWH social column in the Bar Harbor Times from c. 1921 until c. 1958. She combined her notes from the Times with those from Mary Ann and a good deal of scholarship to produce a very complete history of the town, full of opinion, local mythology and history. She was an astute observer and made a laudable effort to distinguish mythology from history. She left the town she loved its most valuable gift. Traditions and records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton (Nellie C. Thornton) was originally published by Merrill & Webber Company in 1938. It was reproduced in 1988 by the Southwest Harbor Public Library and digitized in 2010.
