Merrymeeting Bay Archive, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine
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.
This archive contains material relating to Merrymeeting Bay environmental studies, the bulk from 1988 to 1992. Included is a 1988 report, "Between the River and the Bay: An Inventory and Evaluation of Bath's "Shoreline," and material for "Six Rivers, Twelve Towns, One Bay," a 1990 conference held at Bowdoin College and funded by the Maine Humanities Council. There are project and research materials, formal papers, grant applications, and conference proceedings. The bulk of the items are photocopies and typed manuscripts, but there is one videorecording.
