Fogler Library for the month of October. The Eastern Illustrating and Publishing Company of Belfast, Maine was a postcard manufacturing firm active Main Streets: Selections from the Eastern Illustrating and from 1909 -1947. Founded by Herman Publishing Company Cassens of Rockland, Maine, the firm was, at one point, the largest manufacturer of photo postcards in the United States. The visual legacy of that company, more than 30,000 original glass plate negatives, now resides in the photographic archives of the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport, Maine. The addition of the Eastern Illustrating plates to an already important collection of photography at the museum has created one of the finest image archives in New England. The museum has begun processing these images, digitizing them, and making them available through an on-line database. This exhibition features remarkable scenes of Main Streets in various communities throughout the state of Maine. Taken between 1910 and 1940, these images reveal fascinating glimpses into the architecture, businesses, people, modes of transportation, and way of life in Maine during the first half of the 20th century. Though we are only a generation or two removed from the scenes depicted, the photos document an era of great change. For example, numerous images show automobiles sharing the road (often unpaved, dirt roads) with horses-drawn carriages. Telephone lines and electric wires begin slicing through the images as well as diverse forms of signs and advertising. These images, and the photographic archives at the Penobscot Marine Museum, offer a window into the Main Streets of our past and shed a light on development, change, and preservation (themes still prevalent today) in many of our communities around the state.

I can stay at least two to three hours. I completed the box you set out for me last time: 114979 to 115096. Several days earlier I reviewed 115100 through115218 I also reviewed the digital images 103827 to 103839, 106251 to 106265, and 108176 to 108210, stopping short of the remaining thirty or so images in the file trhat you set up for me.

Are you able to do $10 per image? I don't want to charge you too much but there is some time that will go in to getting the images ready. When you send along the list, please let me know what size you need the files and if they should be in any particular format.

When last I heard from you, you wanted to stop here in route to MDI but then I never heard back. Just wanted to touch base again and see how your research was going. Send me an update when you have time.

For four months they tried to tell me I hadn't paid my bill. I had proof that I had paid it at the same time of the month than when it was Verizon!!! I've been helping out down on the pier when the cruise ships come in and I'm very tired. I had a wonderful few days up at Cobscook Bay camping and going by boat to Deer Island from Campobello and then to Eastport where I visited with an old Bar Harbor guy who now owns a restaurant there. The weather was perfect - the call of the loons in the middle of the night was thrilling and the stars in the middle of the night were exceptional. With the help of my friend, Bob Pennington, I have my slide program of Newfoundland almost ready for a showing at the Talk and Walk program at the YMCA this winter. Last Saturday I went to Portland to see my granddaughter, Elizabeth run the half marathon. Then I'll be meeting Kevin and her at South Station this Friday to go hear live jazz at Cambridge since we missed Newport this year. All my family will gather at Manchester for a celebration of my birthday later this month. It will be a very quick trip since I have obligations back here on the pier. I'm sure you read and heard about the hurricane and all the people being swept and rescued from the ocean. It was an experience that I hope never to experience again!!! My best to you both.

How are you faring? Sorry to have missed you last month. I hope to be back in early November for more work in the archives of the Fenton, Chapman attorney offices on Main Street, the old Deasy & Lynam firm. I had a most productive visit beginning with a FOA carriage ride with Marla, Ruth Colket, and Ann Rockefeller Roberts to a lunch on the veranda at what remains of the Eyrie. Saw Lance Funderburk and Ray Strout about securing their images for the Dorr biography, which is now nearing completion of the chapters sent off to the editor for a first critique. Most time was spent in the dirty basement of Fenton & Chapman. Elizabeth and I have had an enjoyable summer with mini-vacations of three or four days each to Gettsburg, Providence/Bedford, Plymouth/Cape Cod, and most recently Cape Ann--which I grow to appreciate more with each visit. Look forward to seeing you ! Kepe in touch! Ron Quoting ALICE MACDONALD LONG : Hi all, My new e-mail address is alonglong@gwi.net as of today, October 5, 2009 I would appreciate you letting me know that you have received the new address. What a pain this has been for me - but, hopefully not too bad for you all. Thanks. Alice https://webmail.myfairpoint.net/mail/message.php?index=1735 10/6/2009 Verizon Yahoo!

I picked up a brochure on the Glass Plate Image Archive and when I returned home investigated your collections. Search Shortcuts I am a recently retired academic library director who is completing an archival-based My Photos biography of Acadia National Park Founder George Bucknam Dorr (1853-1944), to be published by the Library of American Landscape History. My Attachments While I have many copies of historic images, I would be most interested in reviewing what you have in your collections for Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Southwest Harbor with an eye to possible inclusion in the Dorr biography. I'll be returning to Searsport within a month or so to go over archival material on David Sears at the research library, arrangements I'll finalize with Cathy Pollari. Might I make an appointment to meet with you at that time? Thank you for this consideration ! Ronald H.
