LEWISTON — Maine Archives and Museums recently held its quarterly board meeting at Museum L-A.

The organization serves as a network for Maine institutions and individuals who identify, collect, interpret, and/or provide access to materials relating to history, living collections and culture.

“Museum L-A is pleased to have hosted this meeting,” said Rachel Desgrosseilliers, Museum L-A’s executive director. “It gave a chance for museums and historical societies in this area to hear firsthand what MAM can do for them.”

Each quarter the full Board of Directors meets at different locations around the state to provide an opportunity to hear from local organizations and guest attendees.

MAM offers local and regional workshops for historical society and museum professionals, staff, and volunteers.

Its annual conference is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 28, at the Newport Cultural Center.

Membership in MAM is open to institutions and individuals. More information about MAM is available at its website: www.mainemuseums.org.
