This collection includes several books, pamphlets and documents related to Maine History that are now in the public domain that have been digitized by Raymond H. Fogler Library. Several early town histories have also been included in this series. In some cases, a link to full text access has been provided rather than a downloadable file, particularly if the electronic version was originally made available by an institution other than Fogler Library.
In addition, the series includes contemporary papers and articles related to the state's history written by University of Maine faculty, staff, alumni/ae, students and Friends of Fogler Library.
For more information about these materials or about submitting to the collection, please contact the Special Collections Department, 5729 Raymond H. Fogler Library, University of Maine, Orono, ME, 04469-5729
