Maine State Archives catalogued online for first time March 13, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The Maine State Archives are going online. The state will use the online ArchivesSpace portal to launch the first catalog of its holdings, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said. That will allow researchers to search through a listing of collections online to see if they need access to the state archives, the state department said. Researchers will then be able to contact an archivist to get access to the physical documents. Such access has never been available in the archives' 56-year history until now, the state department said.
