Sandstone & Tile
Sandstone & Tile originally appeared as the Stanford Historical Society Newsletter and the inaugural issue was published in April, 1976, three months after the founding of the society. In the second year, the newsletter’s founding editor, Peter C. Allen, launched an annual feature issue, naming it Sandstone & Tile. In 1985, the newsletter was permanently renamed Sandstone & Tile by co-editors Karen Bartholomew and Roxanne Nilan. The journal publishes research articles on various aspects of Stanford history, in addition to serving as a chronicle of the history of the society.
Three handsomely printed and illustrated issues are published each year. A copy of each issue is mailed to all members of the society as a membership benefit. Digital copies of recent issues are available below.
