Maine MILL Ephemera Exhibition + Collection stations


  • Maine MILL 35 Canal Street Lewiston, ME, 04240 United States (map)

Maine Museum of Innovation, Learning and Labor (Maine MILL) is a history and culture museum in downtown Lewiston, Maine, that celebrates extraordinary stories of work and industrial ingenuity. Through our collection, exhibits, educational programming, and events, we invite visitors to explore how life, labor, and culture shape the present and influence the future.

In preparation for an exhibition with the theme “labor” Maine MILL and Tanja Hollander are looking for your objects and stories. The exhibit will feature ephemera from Hollander’s crowd source collection, from the collection of the museum AND from you! We define the world labor loosely and encourage you to be creative.

To participate:

  1. Please bring 2-4 objects, not larger than 8x10” (the size of a piece of paper) to Maine MILL on Wednesday through Saturday, 10am - 4pm through September 15th. They will be ready for pick up 2-4 weeks after drop off. And sometimes much sooner!

  2. Maine MILL is located at 35 Canal Street, Lewiston, Maine 04240 in the Bates Mill Complex off of Chestnut Street in Lewiston, Maine. Our entrance faces Canal Street.

  3. Fill out this google form.

  4. To learn more about the project and FAQs. Questions: E-mail Tanja.
