Presque Isle Reference

07/22/2013

Thanks to some very generous private donations and a matching grant from the Maine Community Foundation, the first years of Presque Isle newspapers - previously available only on microfilm - have now been digitized and are fully viewable to anyone anywhere with an Internet connection. They might take a minute to load, so patience will be your ally in that. :) Please let us know if you have any questions. The next set - approximately through the 1930s - are currently being digitized. http://turner.advantage-preservation.com/

The Library would like to compile a collection of local sayings: colloquialisms, unique euphemisms, words or turns of phrase that seem to be special to Northern Maine. You can post them here if you like, or email them to [email protected]. If you have the rights and permissions to any written works that use these phrases, we would love to talk to you about that as well. :) Thank you!
