Maine Arts and Culture's "History" wishes to include sites that range from recent historical web sites, extending to aboriginal arts and culture in three categories, defined below.
Native American related sites will be more thoroughly catalogued at Regional: US: Maine: Native Americans
This section is one of several Open Directory groupings, intended to reveal the variety and diversity of Maine's art and cultural history.
Please submit sites here concerning:
1. Aboriginal peoples that significantly predate Native American Indian information which is nicely layed out on
Open Directory Regional: US: Maine: Native Americans
2. European settlers and their offspring, including those who came through Canada and elsewhere but originating in Europe. We hope to develop extensive links to Franco American information and the Acadians.
3. Significant migrations that are more recent such as the two Russian migrations to the area of Richmond, Maine, the Lebanese migration to Waterville, Maine, and so on.
As the numbers of sites increase we welcome criticism and ideas to better structure these various overlapping and important aspects of Maine's history.
