The periodical was founded by Frank A. Gardner, M.D.,〔Gardner, F.A., M.D., descendant of Thomas Gardner (planter)〕 Charles A. Flagg (of the Library of Congress), and Albert W. Dennis. The Editor was Rev. Thomas Franklin Waters, the noted researcher and author of Ipswich, MA. With a quarterly publishing schedule, the magazine was "devoted to History, Genealogy, and Biography."〔The Massachusetts Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, January, 1908 (via Hathi Trust ) Digital Library〕 A regular theme dealt with "Pilgrims and Planters" written by Lucie M. Gardner. Too, the magazine included research papers. An example would be the articles in the regimental history series, such as "Col. John Glover's Marblehead Regiment" (author, Dr. F.A. Gardner) that is found in Vol. I, No. 1. Gardner did a series of these "monographs" with the 25th of the series appearing in Vol. XI, No. 1 (January, 1918).〔The Massachusetts Magazine, Vol. XI, No. 1, January, 1918 (via Hathi Trust ) Digital Library〕 In Vol. VIII, No.1, the theme was celebrating the centennial year (post the closing of the War of 1812) starting with an essay by John Davis Long (32nd Governor of Massachusetts) and others.〔The Massachusetts Magazine, Vol. VIII, No. 1, January, 1915 (via Hathi Trust ) Digital Library〕 The series on Regimental History used those units present at the Siege of Boston.〔The Massachusetts Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, Pg 13, January, 1908 (archive.org )〕 In the first five volumes, additional material related to participation by Massachusetts appeared in a series, Department of the American Revolution.〔The Massachusetts Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, January, 1908, Pg. 51.
