The Clothesline Project at Merrill Library

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Merrill Library at the University of Maine at Machias is hosting The Clothesline Project from October 1 to 31, organized by the UMM Counseling Center. This powerful visual display bears witness to the impact of domestic violence in all its forms, providing a voice to survivors and those who have lost loved ones.

Throughout October, the UMM Counseling Center will be hosting events and awareness efforts to raise awareness about domestic violence in our communities.

For more information, email the UMM Counseling Center or contact the Next Step Domestic Violence Project of Hancock and Washington Counties.

New from Special Collections and Projects: University of Maine College of Sciences

The Special Collections and Projects Department in Fogler Library has added new records to the online archival content management tool ArchivesSpace.

Records related to the operations of the former University of Maine College of Sciences are now available to researchers. The records include: planning material related to College of Sciences reunions and receptions; material from the College of Sciences chair, faculty retreats and meetings; copies of various College of Sciences and individual departmental publications and annual reports; data related to student enrollment, majors, retention and grades; and budget information. The College of Sciences was officially established on July 1, 1989 under the leadership of Dean Dagmar Cronn. The College of Sciences comprised the departments of Chemistry, Geological Sciences, Physics and Astronomy, Plant Biology and Pathology, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Zoology, Mathematics, Oceanography and Computer Science.

Dean Cronn departed the College of Sciences in June 1997, and on July 1, 1997, the College closed with the individual departments moving to the new, combined colleges — in particular, the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture (recently renamed the College of Earth, Life, and Health Sciences).
