In October of 2019, Raymond H. Fogler Library at the University of Maine received a donation of over 3,000 rolls of film containing about 1 million aerial images from the James W. Sewall Co. in Old Town, Maine. The collection contains original aerial photography of Maine and New England captured by Sewall over the span of 65 years. The archive will offer researchers and the public a vast collection that details changes to Maine’s landscapes and cities over the decades. This talk will provide a brief overview of the collection and its history, and the current status of efforts to digitize the photographs and make them available. A survey will be provided to offer attendees an opportunity for suggestions about potential uses for the images.
