Northeast Historic Film And The Documentation Of Maine’S History, Jim Henderson, Karan Sheldon

Maine Policy Review

Moving images are among the most important documents of twentieth-century life as they capture policy steps taken and not taken, infrastruc­ture created and abandoned, politicians’ campaigns and public governance, citizens’ work lives, social and cultural attitudes, industries, natural resources and their use. The authors reflect on the work of Northeast Historic Film and how it documents Maine history.
