1. New University of Maine Finding Aids
More finding aids for University of Maine records held by Fogler Library have been added to the finding aid page on Digital Commons. The most recent finding aids are for the records of the Maine Folklife Center, Dean of Women, Faculty and Professional Association (University Of Maine), School of Law, and the late UMaine English professor Ted Holmes. Matthew Revitt (matthew.revitt@maine.edu), Special Collections and Maine Shared Collection Librarian, is currently processing records from the Dean of Men. The Dean of Men records are dated from the 1920s to the 1940s and come from the office that oversaw student affairs for male UMaine students including housing, health, student groups, and discipline.
