WABI Covers ‘Historical Atlas of Maine’ Launch
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the launch of the “Historical Atlas of Maine” at the University of Maine. The atlas is a new geographical and historical interpretation of the state, from the end of the last ice age to 2000, that culminates a 15-year scholarly project led by UMaine researchers. UMaine historian Richard Judd and UMaine geographer Stephen Hornsby edited the book that contains cartography by Michael Hermann. “I think it is a new portal into Maine history that we have not really had before in the sense that it combines graphics with text in a way that allows the reader to use their imagination,” Judd said.
