Edge Editions is an independent publishing imprint devoted to the history of place, told through material culture, landscape, and archival evidence. Founded by historian and photographer Bradford A. Fuller, the press builds regional history from archives, objects, land records, and the land itself—not from narrative alone
For the last 8 years, Fuller has researched and published illustrated histories of the Saco River Valley in western Maine, with particular attention to Fryeburg and Brownfield. His work draws on maps, photographs, artifacts, and legal records to trace how this land was surveyed, settled, and worked—by both Indigenous and colonial communities. The result isn't local-history anecdote; it's a way into larger questions about memory, labor, and displacement..
Current work centers on a manuscript on the material and archival history of the Saco River Valley, built from years of fieldwork and archival research. It draws on environmental history, material culture studies, and visual scholarship, for readers interested in Maine and New England settlement history.
Edge Editions is both a publishing platform and a working archive. Projects grow out of sustained work with historical societies, libraries, land records, and family collections—documented carefully and presented with respect for the original material.
