Windows on Maine

Windows on Maine is a pilot project to develop an online service offering streaming video programs and clips, still images, texts, and other primary and secondary digital resources via broadband and wireless connections. It features a searchable database of complete programs and video clips from Maine Public Broadcasting Network’s award-winning historical series, HOME: The Story of Maine, and its science series, Quest: Investigating Our World. Multimedia resources have also been selected from the collections of the Fogler Library and the Maine Folklife Center at the University of Maine, Northeast Historic Films, Maine State Museum, Maine State Archives, and the Maine Historical Society that portray Maine’s history and the ecology of the Gulf of Maine: forestry and lumbering, fishing and fishermen, hunting and fur trading, and shipping and ship building.
