Upon founding the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, now known as Historic New England, William Sumner Appleton introduced a journal to share important information on the preservation of the region's history. Since 1910, Old-Time New England has been devoted to the description and interpretation of the architecture, landscapes, and material culture of New England.

Old-Time New England features illustrated essays that focus on the material evidence of the region's social history, craftsmanship, and daily life. Articles describe the way New Englanders have constructed and altered urban and rural buildings, artifacts, and landscapes, and how, why, and in what ways they have sought to document and preserve them.

In each issue, a photographic essay, "Inside Historic New England," focuses on collections that suggest new avenues for research. The only fully-illustrated journal on the region, Old-Time New England is aimed at both general readers and scholars interested in New England history.
