Maine captures two worlds within its borders: the world of work and the world of leisure. Mainers live and work through the long, cold winters, short springs, easy summers, and brilliant falls. Vacationers delight in the rocky coastline, summer camps, mountain hikes, pristine wilderness, and wildlife views.

The rigors of living in Maine throughout the year have created a spirit of endurance in its citizens. Historic Photos of Maine captures this spirit of inventiveness, work, recreation, and integrity that are hallmarks of the state through still photography selected from the finest archives. From the era of the early days of steam travel to its role as a beloved vacation destination, Historic Photos of Maine follows life, government, education, and events throughout the state's history.

This volume captures unique and rare scenes through the lens of hundreds of historic photographs. Published in striking black-and-white, these images communicate the historic events and everyday life of two centuries of people building a unique community.

Frances L. Pollitt works at the Maine Historical Society for Maine Memory network, an online statewide museum of historical objects. She works with hundreds of photographs from the society's special collections as well as from other Maine historical societies, museums, and archives that contribute their digital images to Maine Memory Network. Frances as lectured and published articles about the historic map collection at the society and given presentations at national and regional conferences on digital museum projects. She has a master's degree in library science from Syracuse University, a master's in adult education from the University of Southern Maine, and a bachelor's in human ecology from College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. She has served as volunteer for the Peace Crops in Palau, Micronesia, and a the Baha'i World Centre in Haifa, Israel. Frances lives in Fryeburg, Maine, with her husband and two children.
