  • Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities
    Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities Healthy people, healthy businesses, healthy governments — healthy communities — are all best informed and engaged by independent community journalists who examine school budgets, expose scandals, question practices and politics, scrutinize environmental practices, who champion good and who dare to challenge fear and falsehoods. The work we do in our newsrooms enhances community life, it exposes mental and social health care problems and brings solutions forward, it relentlessly exposes overspending in our governments, and highlights the great people who live and work all around us. Communities are healthier, more engaged, more resilient and better able to thrive when informed by truth.

  • Kennebec Current Discovering, Preserving, and Disseminating Kennebec County History Since 1891
    Kennebec Current Discovering, preserving, and disseminating Kennebec County history since 1891 Volume 30 Issue 5 KENNEBEC HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER September–October 2020 Maine State Archives Awards KHS $1,500 Preservation Grant he Kennebec Historical Society has received a $1,500 New Century Community Grant from the Maine TState Archives. The grant provides funding for the preservation of archival collections. During the current Covid-19 pandemic, many organizations are finding their resources strained, including the Kennebec Historical Society. The grant aims to support and provide needed resources to care for and improve access to archival collections. In April, KHS converted its Access Collections Database to the commercially produced, widely accepted PastPerfect software program. Following the dramatic conversion of over 60,000 records, KHS determined that a complete inventory of its archive was necessary, comparing old records with new and ensuring KHS Archivist Emily Schroeder peruses the society’s archival stacks, that the items listed in the software were looking for records in the climate-controlled storage room. consistent with the location in the archive. It Photos by Scott Wood is estimated that a complete inventory of the archive will take several months and require significant supervision and resources. KHS plans to stabilize and assess the collections to determine the order in which they should be inventoried. Converted records will need to be verified in the PastPerfect software and the location of the item in the archive confirmed. As items are discovered and inventoried, there may be a need to purchase the proper collection supplies to protect and preserve them. KHS also plans to hire its current volunteer archivist, Emily Schroeder, to provide volunteers and interns with the proper supervision and necessary training.

Recent findings indicate that anti-vax beliefs are not, as had been previously assumed, necessarily the result of scientific illiteracy but rather, are likely produced by intertwining social and situational contexts. With these considerations in mind, the goal of this study was to identify potential motivations underlying anti-vax behavior by performing a deep examination of anti-vax rhetoric, coupled with demographic and situational analyses.

  • Kennebec Current Discovering, Preserving, and Disseminating Kennebec County History Since 1891
    Kennebec Current Discovering, preserving, and disseminating Kennebec County history since 1891 Volume 30 Issue 6 KENNEBEC HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER November–December 2020 Melville Fuller Statue’s Fate in County Commissioners’ Hands he period for public comment about the statue of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Melville Fuller in front of the Kennebec County Courthouse in Augusta lapsed on Dec. 10, Tand now the county commissioners are expected to decide early in 2021 whether to honor a Maine Supreme Judicial Court request to consider moving the statue off that spot. Maine’s high court justices wrote to the commissioners August 5, citing Fuller’s involvement with the U.S. court’s now-discredited 1896 Plessey v. Ferguson decision. That ruling affirmed the principle of allowing states to enact and enforce “separate but equal” laws that mandated the segregation of Blacks from the rest of the population when using public transportation, schools, recreational facilities, and retail businesses. The court overturned the Plessey ruling in 1954 in deciding the Brown v. Board of Education case. The Kennebec Historical Society has taken no position on the statue’s placement, but it has many links to the controversy. First, the society’s president, Patsy Crockett, also is the county commissioners’ chairwoman. Second, a society member who took part in a December 1 public hearing on the matter suggested moving the statue to the historical society’s property at 107 Winthrop Street — a mere six blocks west of the courthouse. Some other hearing participants backed the idea. And third, the society’s headquarters building was built in the 1830s for Henry Weld Fuller Jr., who was Melville Fuller’s uncle.
