Women In Maine's Paper Industry, 1880 - 2006, Pauleena Macdougall, Amy Stevens

Women in Maine's Paper Industry 1880-2006

With support from a Women In Curriculum research grant, Pauleena MacDougall, Associate Director of the Maine Folklife Center assisted by Amy Stevens, graduate student in history, conducted a series of oral histories with women who work or used to work in the pulp and paper industry. The project began May 1, 2006 and was completed September 30, 2006. They asked questions about clothing women wore to work, stories they may have about the mill and relations between workers. Their primary focus was on the expressive culture of the women as we attempt to understand female culture in an industrial setting.

Approaches In Environmental History: The Case In New England And Quebec, Richard W. Judd

History Faculty Scholarship

This article explores differences and similarities in approaches to environmental history in Canada and the United States. It begins by assessing the historiographical and political traditions that influenced the growth of environmental history in America in the 1970s, and then compares these traditions to similar trends in Canada, asking the question: are the basic premises of environmental history, as they developed in the U.S., appropriate to the Canadian national experience? The article then assesses similar ways of exploring reciprocal relations between society and nature in a single cross-border area: a bioregion consisting of Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces to the …

Clara-An Elsewhere, Travis G. Baker

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Clara an elsewhere seeks to convey to a reader the immediate and sensory rich experience of walking down Main Street in Clara, ME one fine summer morning and encountering the lives of two characters, Aaron and Katy even as their lives encounter each other. The work follows a concept in astrophysics, the elsewhere-a time and space outside of the now, past the known future and as yet unseen by the known past- and applies it to a literary context. The effect upon a reader being that he or she is not reading a story that has occurred or will occur …

Betweenness Unveiled: Poetry As A Connective Force, Wilson Clement

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent history, literary criticism attempted to maintain absolute standards by which the quality of literature was to be judged. The literary community's partial submission to attacks on this position has made it possible for its members to recognize that these rigid standards can never be universally accepted. We argue that they must therefore accept, as legitimate modes of critique, both Seamus Heaney's claim that it is the duty of poetry to redress wrongs of whatever type and his unspoken claim that this redress is done by poetry's working for opposing realities. The work for these often contradictory realities, says …

"All For Health For All": The Local Dynamics Of Rural Public Health In Maine, 1885-1950, Martha Anne Eastman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Following new discoveries in bacteriology, public health developed slowly in rural Maine during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, initially in response to communicable diseases and poor sanitation. The legislature created the Maine State Board of Health in 1885 and in 1887 required towns to appoint boards of health. Local responses to public health problems and disease control methods led to both cooperation and resistance. By the 1920s governmental and non-governmental health programs involved the participation of farmers, housewives, school children, women's club members, summer residents, business leaders and health professionals. Voluntary health organizations, such as the Maine Public …

An Analysis Of The Morphological Variability Between French Ceramics From Seventeenth-Century Archaeological Sites In New France, Kevin Mock

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the seventeenth century, France was not one homogenous country but instead was comprised of many culturally distinct regions; it was as politically divided as it was socially. Two regions that typify this distinction are Normandy and Saintonge, which also produced ceramics exported to France’s New World colonies. A morphological comparison of the these ceramics found in early North American sites will enable a comparison of the trade networks between France and New France. In this study, Saintonge and Normandy ceramic artifacts have been examined from the seventeenth century archaeological sites of Ste. Croix Island, Champlain’s First and Second Habitation, …
