From the Collection:

The Merrymeeting Bay collection contains material relating to environmental studies, reports, and activism of the freshwater tidal bay largely dating from 1988 to 1992.

There are project and research materials, formal papers, grant applications, and conference proceedings. The bulk of the items are photocopies and typed manuscripts of reports from activist groups and academics researching the history and environment of the Merrymeeting Bay area. There are also documentary videorecordings and oversized images of the bay.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
