BEFORE THE INTERNET, it was VERY hard to find information on places to row. BoathouseFinder is the online presence of a series of print publications from 1996-2008. The American Rower's Almanac, launched during the nascent years of the Internet, featured a comprehensive directory of clubs, colleges, universities, junior teams, high schools, associations, coaches, and rowing companies in the USA, and later, the world.

Eight editions of The Rower's Almanac were published in print: 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000-2001, 2002-2003, 2004-2005, 2006-2007, and 2008-2009. Limited editions of each of these print editions are available for purchase individually or the entire collection.
