History

The newspaper Border Post and Stannum Miner was first published on 20 July 1872 in Stanthorpe on foolscap paper. Later it was published on broadsheet. In 1971 the title was simplified to Border Post and the newspaper printed as a tabloid.
The title Stannum Miner was then adopted by the Stanthorpe and District Historical Society as the name for their journal (formerly known as the Bulletin).{{Citation | author1=Stanthorpe and District Historical Society | title=Stannum miner | publication-date=1971 | publisher=Stanthorpe and District Historical Society | url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/5535965 | access-date=9 June 2015 }}
