Digital Museum
Discover the rich history of the diocese with our Digital Museum
The Episcopal Diocese of Maine at 143 State Street in Portland currently houses an impressive archival collection of about 800 linear feet! The archive is a collection of historical documents, images, publications, artifacts, and more. These items serve as primary source evidence, or the raw information, with which to tell stories of the rich history of the Episcopal Church in Maine. This archive is a unique and powerful resource that we have not been able to take full advantage of as it is not open to the public and lacks digital formats and searchability.
Now we have taken steps to make this collection digital and accessible as well as helping to preserve this history for generations to come.
So far, approximately 400 archival assets that have been imaged, cataloged, and tagged by the company HistoryIT to create this Digital Museum. Churches and organizations link directly to specific content to showcase their own history on their websites, social media, or newsletters!

Please note: The archive will continue to grow as more materials are digitized!
