Library schedules Celebrating Maine event

South Portland Public Library will host the first event in its Celebrating Maine at 200 Bicentennial events series, Maine at 200 – A Visual History.” The event, presented by Libby Bischof, is scheduled for 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, at the Main Library, 482 Broadway in South Portland.

As the state’s bicentennial is celebrated, 2020 provides an opportunity to reflect upon Maine’s well-known history, as well as aspects of Maine’s past that have been glossed over or ignored. In this illustrated talk, visual historian Bischof will highlight significant events in Maine’s history through objects, drawings, maps, photographs, and postcards–highlighting a history of this land that stretches back over 12,000 years, long before the British and French arrived.

Bischof is executive director of the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education, and professor of history at the University of Southern Maine, where she has taught for 13 years. She is the author, most recently, of “Maine Photography: A History, 1840-2015.” A public historian, she frequently travels around the state of Maine working with educators and local museums, libraries and historical societies on various aspects of Maine’s history. She resides in Gorham with her husband and children.
