Civil War Memorial Wall

Last summer, Tiffany came to MHS as a library intern in her final year of graduate school. She received her MLIS from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and joined our staff in September as a Reference Librarian.

 

"While I enjoy many aspects of history, the history surrounding New England has always been of special interest to me. As a reference librarian, I help patrons in researching a variety of topics, including many genealogical quests. I also handle outside research requests for those who are unable to visit Portland [and] enjoy discovering the connections people have to Maine from around United States and internationally. This job exposes me to many areas of Maine history and culture, allowing me to explore topics I already love and to discover new interests along the way."

 

Tiffany is originally from Hannibal, Missouri, and now lives in Portland with her husband, Stephen, and 5-year-old yorkie, Gaby.

If you haven't seen This Rebellion: Maine and the Civil War, our current museum exhibition, this spring is your last chance. The exhibition closes on May 26. (It lives on, in part, on Maine Memory Network, here.) To complement the final two months of the show, there's a slew of new Civil War content on tap.  

 

From Slavery to Maine, an exhibition in the Shettleworth Lecture Hall, focuses on the experience of African Americans in Maine after the Civil War. Also, four public programs highlight diverse aspects of the War. They include:
