Home movies and amatuer film and video made by women during the 20th century from the collections of Northeast Historic Film, Lesbian Home Movie Project, and Chicago Film Archives

For over 100 years people have been taking movies in the Western Mountains Region of Maine, but many of them have rarely been seen. Home movies, newsreels, company films, and television news stories have all come and gone. This playlist contains a sampling of eighty of these videos, but there are over 450 items listed in our database. This project was made possible by the Betterment Fund.
