Ready to Launch

There have been some minor developments since my last post.  All but two yearbooks have been scanned and are now available on the Maine State  Repository which is partnered with the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).  The Maine State Library has provided use of their book scanner as well as providing space on their server for our digital yearbook files.  File space is free and backed up daily. Since the files were uploaded, the library has added a new page flip software that will improve readability and download speed.  The current files need to be converted and it is my hope that that can happen this fall.  In the meantime, digital yearbooks are accessible through this web site or directly through the Maine State Repository. 

Once again, I have hesitated to publicize this website because it is "not finished".  I have, however, decided that it is going to be a work in progress for some time and I will announce it at the reunion this summer.

As mentioned in my previous post, I have been working on a Wikipedia article about the school's history.  Much to my surprise, publishing an article in Wikipedia is more difficult than expected.  The article is complete including photos and formatting but has not been accepted yet because it is in need of additional primary source references. 

If you are an alumnus reading this post, I am in need of newspaper clippings particularly from either the Portland Press Herald or Bangor Daily News in order to comply with this requirement.  As you view the site, you will see that there is space for news clippings about and related to the schools, graduation and other event programs, etc.  Please contact me if you have any of these materials that I can borrow long enough to scan.
