SUMMARY:Kosti Ruohomaa’s Beloved Maine
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Kosti Ruohomaa. View from Ruohomaa’s Farm on Dodge Mt. Rockland\, Maine \nMay 20th at 6pm on Zoom\nFree\, register here \nKosti Ruohomaa’s Beloved Maine\, a slideshow and lecture by Deanna Bonner-Ganter\, focuses on Rockland\, Maine photographer Kosti Ruohomaa’s Maine photographs. Deanna Bonner-Ganter is the perfect guide to explore Ruohomaa’s work and legacy. She spent more than 30 years researching his life and work. In 2016\, her definitive biography\, Kosti Ruohomaa Photographer Poet was published by Downeast Books. She recently retired from the Maine State Museum in Augusta where she spent her career as a curator.  \nRuohomaa was a storyteller with his camera. He captured the spirit and culture of Maine through its people and landscape like few other photographers have ever done. Ruohomaa’s photographs were featured in various publications including Life Magazine\, Look\, National Geographic\, Ladies Home Journal\, and Down East. In 2018\, a large collection of Ruohomaa’s work was given to Penobscot Marine Museum by his agency\, Black Star of New York. This collection is a remarkable resource. While his published work is fairly well known\, it represents less than 10% of the photographs he made; the rest of his photographs had never been seen by the general public.

SUMMARY:Learning with the Museum: Using objects to spark discussions and make history tangible
DESCRIPTION:May 13th at 6pm on Zoom\nFree\, register here. \nJoin PMM Education Director Jeana Ganskop and Museum Educator/Lead Interpreter Sarah Cole as we discuss and share methods for using artifacts and primary sources to bring history to life. This program is great for teachers and parents\, grandparents\, and other members of the public interested in creating meaning between the history we learn in school and family heirlooms or objects we see in museums. Jeana will start by sharing a portion of PMM’s high school/college “Power & Protest” remote program where participants examine a variety of museum objects and discuss how these objects could represent power\, protest\, or both. Then Sarah will lead participants in thoughtfully considering 3 different artifacts and primary sources followed by brainstorming and practicing ways to use these objects to talk about historical topics. After this program\, participants will feel more comfortable using objects to talk about history\, whether it’s in the classroom\, at a museum\, or at home. Click here to register.

DESCRIPTION:Paul DeOrsay \nThursday\, February 4\n6pm\nFree\, Registration Required \nThe Camden Conference\, Penobscot Marine Museum\, and the Belfast Free Library will present Paul DeOrsay on Thursday\, February 4th for a program on Arctic exploration\, science\, and the Inuit. This event will be open to all on Zoom.  \nThe 19th century saw a prolific bloom of interest in the Arctic among European and North American nations. Some 50 major expeditions were mounted between 1815 and 1909\, most in search of a Northwest Passage. Along the way\, these expeditions gathered data on geology\, oceanography\, flora and fauna\, magnetism\, gravity and astronomy. Later\, as it was learned that the passage existed but was essentially impassable\, exploration focused on discovering just what lay farther north: an open sea\, another continent\, or just more ice? Finally\, the focus became reaching the North Pole\, a somewhat intangible goal\, but one that generated public enthusiasm and national pride.\n \nThe Inuit are an indigenous people who populate the fringes of the Arctic Ocean from Alaska to Greenland. Over the course of a few centuries\, starting around 1100 CE\, they had displaced the earlier Dorset Culture as they migrated from west to east. Living a semi-nomadic existence in relatively small bands\, they had managed to subsist in the most hostile environment on earth.  In this presentation we will survey the century of Arctic exploration as it brought two drastically different cultures together in the harshest of circumstances. \nRegistration required. Register here.  \nThis event is presented in anticipation of the 34th Annual Camden Conference—The Geopolitics of the Arctic: A Region in Peril\, filmed live at the Camden Opera House and around the world\, and presented via Livestream on February 20-21\, 2021.  Visit www.camdenconference.org for further information. \nBio: Paul DeOrsay’s working life has been ocean-focused.  The first 20 years were spent sailing old or traditional vessels\, first in Penobscot Bay\, and ultimately as master of a sailing research / school ship ranging the western North Atlantic and Caribbean. For the next 20 years he worked in the administration of maritime museums and historic ships\, starting in Galveston\, Texas\, then moving to Philadelphia\, and finally as Director of the Whaling Museum in Cold Spring Harbor\, NY.  From 2012-17\, he served as Director of Friends of the Bay\, a small environmental advocacy organization in Oyster Bay\, NY. \nSince retiring back to Maine\, Paul has been volunteering with maritime history and marine environmental organizations (when not sailing\, either on the bay or frozen lakes.) \nHis interest in Arctic exploration was sparked by a brief account of an 1860 schooner expedition from Thomaston\, Maine\, to Greenland\, chartered by a Bowdoin College professor and manned by students.
