Description

This collection began with the research done by Rita Breton as part of her graduate work in history at the University of Maine. Breton conducted approximately twenty interviews with Maine women about their lives and work during the Great Depression and World War II. In addition, in the fall of 1982, students in Edward D. Ives’ class were asked to locate and interview people on the topic of womens’ lives during the Depression and WWII. The semester project yielded forty-five accessions. Collection also contains numerous photographs. Some of the interviews relate to Winkelman’s M. A. Thesis “Work is What Keeps You Going: The Life and Times of Bertha Moore Lord: An Experiment in Biography,” University of Maine, 1986.
