Maine State Archives Classroom Presentations

The teachers and classes that visit the Maine State Archives as part of their prize for winning a student contest repeatedly tell us how much they enjoyed the experience and how surprised they are at the resources available at the Archives. We are offering on request scheduled presentations to classes in grades 4-12.

A presentation begins with a discussion of the necessity of a state archive and the different types of records in our holdings. Our archivists will display and explain examples of our Native American holdings, those pertaining to the Maine Constitution, or the Civil War and tailor it to your region of the state. If you have a particular topic that you are interested in exploring with your class at the Archives outside of the 3 listed above, you may inquire about the possibility of a presentation.

Please contact Nicole Ladner at sos.office@maine.gov if you are interested in such a program.
