Grants to Penobscot Marine Museum - Help Put Historic Photographs Online Waterfront News
“Each image takes about fi ve minutes to scan,” explains Kevin, “but with a grant from the Cascade Foundation we were able to purchase a Nikon D800E professional digital SLR camera which cuts that time down to around fi fteen seconds.” Kevin hopes to get the remaining 80,000 images online within the next three years. Penobscot Marine Museum has fi ve historic photography exhibits currently travelling around the state of Maine. In re- searching these exhibits, the museum often collects information about images from town residents. With a grant from the Maine Communities Foundation for a professional digital voice recorder, the museum is now able to record and preserve these oral histo- ries which might otherwise be lost. The grants from Cascade Foundation and Maine Communities Foundation have
enabled the museum to purchase not only the Nikon and the voice recorder, but also two state of the art PCs, an Epson digital pro- jector, a small, high-resolution digital still and video camera, and two Epson fl atbed scanners. The Penobscot Marine Museum’s photography collection is used online by his- torians, writers, educators, students, geneal- ogists and the public. This equipment helps the Museum to ensure important historical and cultural information is not lost, and that as much of its collections as possible can be shared with, learned from, and enjoyed by the world-wide online community. The Museum is extremely grateful to these two institutions. Their generous gifts benefi t not only the Museum but everyone who has an interest in preserving our cultural heritage.

very hard to be a good and helpful friend. He always had words of encouragement for others, even during times when it was Pete who desperately needed help.
SEARSPORT – Kevin Johnson, Penobscot Marine Museum’s Photography Curator, has the enormous task of putting online the largest collection of historic photographs in Maine. With grants from the Cascade Foundation of Rockport, Maine and the Maine Community Foundation, his job has just been made easier. Penobscot Marine Museum’s photography collection of over 140,000 images provides important docu- mentation of life in Maine and New England from the 1880s through the 1990s. It has taken a dozen volunteers six years to put 60,000 of these images on the Penobscot Marine Museum website.
