Like many Field Notes releases, “The Great Lakes” Edition required extensive research, both for the text and the visuals. While searching for vintage Great Lakes ephemera on eBay, Jim came across a few similar colorful postcards printed on linen cardstock. A bit of Googling revealed these collectible “Art-Colortone” cards, produced by Curt Teich and Co., were a goldmine of American history, told with ink and paper… just the sort of thing we get excited about. – Aug. 3rd, 2022

Field Notes

On this 4th of July weekend that is a celebration of freedom and individual rights, we want to note that Field Notes believes that access to reproductive health care, including abortion, has been critical to gains made in gender equality over the past fifty years. Restricting or criminalizing access reverses that progress, and puts women’s well-being at risk. – Jul. 2nd, 2022

The original launch of “County Fair” was a major investment of time, effort, and money for us. In retrospect, it really set the tone for how ambitious we could be with our Quarterlies, and how important year-long subscriptions would become to the success of Field Notes as an enterprise. For these reasons, this decision was difficult, and one we have delayed for years. – May. 16th, 2022

Here’s a summary of our first Creator in Residence feature at The Commons on Instagram. We’ll be periodically inviting creatives, artists, writers, and generally exceptional people to take over the feed to share their work, tell their stories, and show us how Field Notes occupy a place in what they do. – Apr. 26th, 2022

Field Notes in Action

Hello from Ohio! Every day in 2022 I’ll be crocheting a row on my ‘Temperature Blanket.’ In my Field Notes I’m recording the daily temperature at 1:37 (the time I was born). – Mar. 28th, 2022

Quarterly Limited-Editions

This year’s subscriber box art is by René Arceo. Created by hand-carving a linoleum block, the work was inspired by René’s mother-in-law and the hand-carving process itself. – Mar. 10th, 2022
