About Picton Press
Picton Press is a publishing company located in Rockland, Maine which specializes in publishing genealogical and historical manuscripts, whether long out of print or never published before. We particularly seek transcripts of original church records, tax lists, court records, town vital records, tombstone inscriptions and early military records, and thus in doing so are emphasizing research tools. We specialize in genealogical and historical research material of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries tracing descendants of early immigrants.
Picton Press has been a publisher of genealogical and historical research material for over 30 years having first published the book The History of Bridgton, Maine in 1968 under our New England History Press imprint. There have been many changes on the genealogical scene over the past years; available sources have expanded greatly, standards of scholarship have improved, and American's interest in their ancestry has expanded greatly. But the importance of the highest standards of research and the need for intellectual honesty remain unchanged. We will continue to bring you both quality and honesty in the future as we have in the past.
