Fairfield Historical Society receives grant

Morning Sentinel Staff

AUGUSTA -- Maine State Archivist David Cheever recently announced the Fairfield Historical Society will receive a $1,890 grant to preserve and provide better access to its historical photo collections as part of the Historical Records Collections Grant Program. The grant allows the society to copy its entire photo collections and provide access to them. The photos will be available at the Fairfield History House.

In addition, Elm City Photo will have the entire collection accessible online and available for purchase. Each photo will be cataloged by subject and individual as much as possible. Help is needed to identify individuals in some photos. Photos include Fairfield through the years, many of the town of Benton and other towns. Examples include WWI military, the lumbering industry, Gladys Duren collection of newspaper photos and early school groups.
