In 2022, PMM was able to acquire six binders full of maritime related photographic negatives taken by Rockport photographer Jim Moore. Moore was an established newspaper photographer who spent most of his career as the midcoast correspondent for the Portland Press Herald and other Gannett Publishing papers. He was a contemporary and friend of Kosti Ruohomaa and Carroll Thayer Berry, and together they published The Maine Coastal Portrait in 1959. PMM Photo Archivist Kevin Johnson will share a peek into the Moore Collection as a preview of our upcoming April exhibit at the Camden Library.
