The Quarterlies were consistent in both their size (7” x 9.5”) and their “consistently inconsistent” schedule for over thirty years. The subject matter includes family, friends, woodworking, churches, baseball, cameras, sailing, the art world, three nuns in a boat (you’ll need to ask about this one) and whatever else sparked our interest or curiosity.
Herring Quarterlies: The Original Herring Blog
Long before e-mail, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social media networks, there were the Herring Quarterlies. I think these can be referred to as the original Herring blog.
If a blog is a post created by an individual commenting on a particular subject of interest or even a form of self advertisement, then Herring may have been at the forefront of this new wave of communication. The first Herring Quarterly was printed in 1979.
