UMaine undergraduates created the material on this website as part of their final projects in an Intro to Public History course taught in spring 2025. Other ongoing Public History projects supported by the Department of History include Maine National History Day (a history contest for grades 6-12) and the journal Maine History.

We owe a special thanks to many guest speakers in our class, and, above all, to University Archivist Matthew Revitt (and all the staff at Special Collections) as well as Rosie Seaber (Fogler Library) and Lindsey French (Dept. of Art).
