William was born on October 2, 1858 in Richmond, Virginia, United States, of substantial and well connected stock (the Stanard family had settled in Middlesex County before 1700), son of Capt. Robert Conway and Virginia M. (Cowan) Stanard. His father, who was a captain in the Confederate Army, died in 1861, and his mother later married William B. Wooldridge.
He was educated at McGuire's School, Richmond, at the College of William and Mary, 1875-76, and at Richmond College (later part of the University of Richmond), 1876-80.
During his young manhood he worked at various occupations, including those of surveyor and of reporter for the Richmond Daily Whig, but early developed a taste for historical and genealogical study, and began to contribute occasional articles to the Critic (Richmond) and other periodicals.
In October 1898 he succeeded Philip A. Bruce as corresponding secretary of the Virginia Historical Society and editor of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, continuing in this dual capacity until his death. Barring his marriage, April 17, 1900 and the publication of his two useful and meritorious volumes, The Colonial Virginia Register (1902), compiled with the assistance of his wife, and Some Emigrants to Virginia (1911), there were few milestones in the remaining portion of his career. The record of his later days was that of faithful and painstaking devotion to the routine tasks of collecting and preserving whatever bore upon the history of Virginia, as colony or as commonwealth, and of extending the sphere of the society whose efficient officer he was. He died in 1933.
William Glover Stanard was well-known as the publihser of the thirty-five volumes of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, that remain a monument to his scholarly and authoritative editorship at the same time that they abound in valuable contributions from his pen, most of them with characteristic modesty left unsigned.

He was a self-effacing and generous, he employed no little of his private research in supplying material for the narratives his wife wrote, while with gentle and patient courtesy he gave unstintingly of his time and knowledge to the numberless students who, seldom fruitlessly, sought historical or genealogical aid from him.
Quotes from others about the person
According to Munford "Stanard knew more of the history of Virginia than any other man has ever known".
