WPA Cemetery Plans

During the Great Depression, the Work Projects Administration (WPA) put millions of Americans to work on public works projects that ranged from building trails in National Parks to creating over 500 surveys of Maine cemeteries. These cemetery plans, transferred from the Office of the Adjutant General and now part of the holdings of the Maine State Archives, help us to identify war veterans final resting places.

Stereoview Photographs

Popular in the late 19th century, stereoscopy is a photographic technique which attempts to enhance the illusion of depth. During the time which stereoviews were most abundantly produced, the prevalent printing technique was the albumen print, so named for its use of egg whites in the paper coating process. These stereoviews, most of which are albumen, are rich in detail and depict historic events in Maine history, such as the great Portland fire of 1866 and images of the sunken wreck of the Battleship U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor, 1898.
