BDN Publishes ‘My Maine Culture’ Digital Postcard Collaboration with UMHC
The Bangor Daily News published 50 digital postcards as part of its “My Maine Culture” collaboration with the University of Maine Humanities Center. The project was created to celebrate Maine’s sense of place.
In December, members of the public were invited to submit a digital postcard — an image or video with accompanying text — that captures their Maine culture or what they love about the state.
Highlights from the collection are now online and will contribute to the Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day. The events kick off 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23 with a humanities-themed PechaKucha presentation at Coe Space, 48 Columbia Street, where BDN editor Erin Rhoda will share examples from the collection.
The Maine Folklife Center also may choose to preserve the digital postcards in its archives.
