Henry S. Dawson Papers on Unitarianism in Maine, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library.
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
The collection contains material relating to the state of Unitarianism in Maine. At the core of the collection are Henry S. Dawson's writings, "The Origin, Growth, and Present Condition of Unitarianism in Maine." As a supplement to Dawson's writings, the collection also includes: several letters between Ministers from several parishes; the Secretary's Report to the Maine Conference regarding the state of each parish; and material specific to the establishment of each parish.
