MAINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Volume eleven, Number three Winter, 1972 Published quarterly at 485 Congress Street Portland, Maine 04111 NEWS OF THE SOCIETY In 1962, Walter Muir Whitehill, in his Independent His­ torical Societies, wrote: "The Maine Historical Society main­ tains its old learned traditions within the limits of its resources. It has cultivated no arts of public address nor painted its face in an attempt to draw attention to itself." At our l50th Anniversary the temptation remains strong to become benign and quietly respectable, to stop trying so hard to preserve and make available our horde of primary documents and manuscripts and to expend less energy to main­ tain essential services to the people of Maine. Fortunately there appears no disposition to do this and this may be our greatest blessing. We are accepted as a reliable research center for Maine history. We are known to have uncompromised high standards for our publications. These standards were spelled out by Judge Ashur Ware in his introduction to the very first vol­ ume of Collections published by this Society in 1831.

    Maine Historical Society COLLECTING • PRESERVING • PRESENTING THE HISTORY OF MAINE Winter 2006/2007 When Henry Wadsworth Longfellow turned 70, on February 27, 1877, the entire nation celebrated and poetry was in the air and every schoolroom. Now his 200th Celebrating birthday is upon us, and Maine Historical, many Maine arts organizations, the Longfellow National Historic Site and friends in Cambridge, and fans across the Creativity country are about to launch a yearlong celebration of the boy from Maine who became America’s most beloved poet. At MHS, the celebration will kick off on February 16th with the opening of a new exhibit — Drawing Together: The Arts of the Longfellows. Using never-before-seen works from many collections, the exhibit will reveal not only the family’s passionate interest in painting and drawing but the way creativity and imagination bound the generations together. [Read more on pg. 3] MHS will host its Annual Longfellow Birthday Party on Saturday, February 24, and then present a series of Spring lectures and programs designed to complement the exhibit and celebrate Henry’s life and career. MHS will also issue an open invitation to poets, writers, public figures, students, and the general public to create their own works in response to Longfellow. Many of these will be posted on our Longfellow website (www.hwlongfellow.org ) and some will be featured in a grand celebration/poetry festival/forum at MHS in October, which will culminate the year’s events. Collaboration is another theme of 2007, and we are partnering with many organi- zations to help celebrate Longfellow 200.

In the Shettleworth Auditorium you will see Working on the Coast, an extraordinary col- lection of original photographs from the 1930s and 1940s. They were taken by Alfred Elden, of Portland, and Fred Milliken, of Eastport, both freelance journalists for the Atlantic Fisherman, a trade periodical published from 1921 to 1951. The images, taken with something of an artist’s eye, document many different aspects of Maine’s fishing industry, from gill-netting, to hauling, to processing and lobstering. Take a close look.

    Maine Historical Society COLLECTING • PRESERVING • PRESENTING THE HISTORY OF MAINE Summer 2004 AMAZING! MAINE STORIES are you tired of the same old history? Have you been looking for excitement? Do you need to make new friends? Then it’s time to see Amazing! Maine Stories. It’s a new exhibit that will introduce you to characters curious, famous, and unknown — all of whose lives illuminate Maine history in unexpected ways. It opens to the public Friday, June 25, 2004, at the Maine Historical Society Museum. Curator John Mayer has plumbed the depths of MHS collec- tions and gone far afield to tell these stories, which stretch from the 18th century to the present, from the pulpit to the junk- yard, from Casco Bay to the shores of Tripoli. There are Native Americans and Yankee inventors, proto-feminists and old-time railroad men. There’s Handkerchief Moody Dave Glovsky (Dave the Guesser) of York, and Toy Len Goon of Portland; working at his summertime passion, “Steamboat” Jonathan Morgan of Alna, and guessing people’s weight at Old Orchard Beach, c. 1988. Dave “The Guesser” Glovsky of Old Orchard Beach. For each of these figures, and many more, the show unfolds a quirky, tabloid-style story backed up by careful scholarship, thor- ough labels, and a range of extraordinary artifacts, paintings, photographs and manu- scripts. It is in fact one of the purposes of the exhibit to remind us that history is always latent, always hidden in the objects we save, in the lives they represent, and in the decisions museums make to bring them forth or not.

    Maine Historical Society Coll. 1892 Victoria Society of Maine Victoria Society of Maine Oral History Project 1984 - 1992 Accession #: 1995.273 Processed by: Emily Gendrolis, Intern Access: Unrestricted Copyright: Requests for permission to publish material from this collection should be discussed with the MHS Image Services Coordinator. Size: 2 linear feet Dates: 1984 - 1992 Bulk Dates: 1984 Biographical Notes: The Victoria Society of Maine Women of Achievement was founded by Mae Ford Haviland (Mrs. Foster L. Haviland) and Dr. William Henry Holmes on June 19, 1943, and filed as a Maine General Business on August 31 of the same year. The purpose of the organization was the preservation of the Morse-Libby Mansion – now known as Victoria Mansion – which was built in 1859 for Ruggles Sylvester Morse and subsequently owned by J.R. Libby, whose family resided in the mansion until 1929. Because of the preservation of the Mansion – it has retained its original decorations and furnishings almost completely – it is considered “a national shrine of the Victorian era.” Mae Ford Haviland, originally from Vermont, was an accomplished organist, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music’s Piano Teacher’s Course. She moved to Portland in 1923, where she served as the director of the Rossini Club’s orchestra, Chairman of Church Music for the Maine Federation of Music Clubs, and editor of the “New Hymns and Old” column for the Portland Sunday Telegram. Her extensive collection of early American Hymn books, the oldest dating from 1711, resided in a designated section of the Victoria Mansion Library dedicated to her memory.

"Conservation in Context" Conservation is best understood as one level of care within a preservation program that includes prevention, reformatting, in-house conservation procedures, and conservation treatments. After reviewing the broad implications of a functioning preservation program, Steve Dalton will address how archivists work with conservators: how to find them, negotiate with them, work with them. NEDCC is a recipient of an IMLS leadership grant. Speaker: Steve Dalton, Director, Field Service, Northeast Document Conservation Center 2. "Dealers, Donors, and Archivists: Partners in Developing Collections" Developing collections sometimes requires that archivists cooperate and plan with donors and manuscript dealers. Collaborating with rare materials dealers to develop collections for an institution includes matters such as providing the dealer with a profile of an institution's collection development program and a framework for an institution's ability to pay for collections.
