About MAM

MAM actively stimulates the flow of knowledge and support among organizations and individuals in Maine who identify, collect, interpret, and/or provide access to materials relating to history, living collections, and culture, in order to strengthen and promote all collecting institutions in Maine. We seek to fulfill this purpose by providing continuing professional education; providing a forum for the exchange of information among individuals and institutions; facilitating collaboration with other organizations and individuals that represent allied disciplines; and promoting member institutions and businesses to the public.

A social historian by training, Lucy's passion for the past developed early, perusing a collection of family photos and letters dating to before the Civil War, clambering in and out of cellar holes all over Vermont, and visiting museums all over New England. Her first museum employment came in the form of an internship at the Charles Dickens House Museum in London. In 2010 she moved to Portland to pursue an MA in American and New England Studies at the University of Southern Maine. During her time in grad school, Lucy had the opportunity to work in several historic sites around Portland including the Portland Observatory, Eastern Cemetery, the Osher Map Library, Maine Historical Society, and Victoria Mansion. These days, when she's not working for MAM, Lucy fills her time volunteering for the Mechanics' Hall Library, baking, reading, or lounging with her dog.
