History and profile

The Bollard was founded in 2005 with $3000.[3] The first issue of the magazine was published online in September of that year.[4] From 2007 to June 2008, it printed quarterly and thereafter switched to monthly publications. It is a free publication available in public places across southern Maine and online.[5][6] The magazine is published by the Bollard Publishing owned by Chris Busby.[6] In 2019, the Bollard was renamed Mainer.

Editor

The Bollard was established by owner/editor-in-chief Chris Busby in 2005 after the collapse of another local paper named the Casco Bay Weekly.
