Special Collections, Raymond H. Fogler Library, University of Maine
This collection was created in 1980-84 by Pamela Dean in the course of doing research for her master's thesis in history at the University of Maine 1984, entitled "Us and Them: An Oral History of Life on the Summer Estates in Coastal Hancock County, Maine." The period covered by the interviews is approximately 1880-1980. The major focus is on the relations between the summer people who owned estates in Northeast Harbor and Blue Hill, Maine, and the native Mainers who worked for them on the estates.
