Mildred Giddings Burrage collection, 1893-1978.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733061853

The collection consists of manuscript material, including correspondence and writings as well as collected ephemera, printed matter, photographs and original artwork related to the life of Mildred Giddings Burrage, her sister Madeleine, and the Maine art scene. The collection is organized by decade, preserving the original order of the materials as they arrived at Maine Historical Society. The collection was meticulously organized, by decade, by Mildred Burrage herself. The archivist chose to segregate specific topics (while preserving the original order) as seen in Series 3: Collected Materials. These topics include Colby College, Maine Coast Craftsmen, Lincoln County Cultural and Historical Association, as well as original Christmas cards by Maine artists. The collection also includes personal papers of Madeleine Burrage, Mildred's sister and their mother Ernestine. Correspondents include Margaret Deland and Frederic A. Delano.
