Announcing a new exhibit at the Long Island Community Library (glass case between the main room of the library and the small meeting room)

 

The Maine Photo Project, a statewide collaboration among museums, galleries, historical societies, and other nonprofit cultural organizations across Maine, celebrates the 150th anniversary of photography.

 

This exhibit reflects the history of photography through the collections of the Long Island Historical Society, as well as private collections. From daguerreotypes to digital photography, Long Island has long been photographed – people, places, homes, ferries. The exhibit is supplemented with antique cameras from private collections and books from the collections of the Long Island Community Library.

 

Open during library hours – see the library website for hours: http://library.long-island.lib.me.us/
