Guide to Nature Magazine was founded by the Agassiz Association in 1908. Originally located in Stamford, the magazine moved soon to "Arcadia" in Sound Beach. The last issue was published in December 1935.
While it it is a magazine for naturalists, many issues contain information and articles about Stamford people and businesses, and lots of local advertising.
The Stamford Historical Society has copies of most issues between 1908 and 1919. They can be viewed in the Marcus Research Library at headquarters. A finding aid is available, with links to several articles related to Stamford transcribed so far on our website. This is a work in progress.
We would like to have a complete set and are looking for donations of missing issues.
Louis Agassiz, after whom the Agassiz Association was named.
