Cape Ann Museum Library Is A Hidden Gem

Posted on by Pat D

One of our very loyal followers, David C., asked me recently to see what I could find out about the Oak Grove Cemetery on Washington St on behalf of a cousin seeking her ancestor’s gravesite. It’s EXACTLY the kind of challenge I relish. First off, I checked with Linn Parisi to ask her for guidance. Her advice led me to the Cape Ann Museum Library and Archives. (Thanks a bunch Linn!) The staff guided me to the right resource and I was able to find some leads to share with David and cousin Janet. We didn’t get all the way to actually locating the gravesite (yet) but we found the information we needed. I haven’t done family history research in an actual archive much lately and this was a welcome reminder of how fortunate we are in Gloucester to have such a rich collection of materials available in the City of Gloucester Archives, the Cape Ann Museum Library and Archives and the Sawyer Free Library local history section.

The Cape Ann Museum seems to be preparing for its upcoming special exhibit Above The Fold: The Photographers of the Gloucester Daily Times 1973-2005 opening Dec 2 as there are a number of older cameras on display in the library. It’s a lovely place just for a browse-around. There are amazingly specific titles available to cover all aspects of Gloucester history.

Portland Waterfront — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Last week I attended the New England Museum Association Annual Conference in Portland, ME. A “Waterfront Walk” field trip led by staff from the Gulf of Maine Research Institute pointed out a number of interesting comparisons with Gloucester.

Morning snow and schooners in hibernation at the harbor entry from Casco Bay.
Working down the waterfront, a life-size whale graphic at the Maine State Pier.
Further out the pier, walking on water at the car ferry loading ramp.
Also on the pier is the passenger ferry terminal, on the first level of a parking garage.
Lobster boats at Custom House Wharf dealing with overcrowded shoreside facilities.
Widgery Wharf has a new building, elevated in response to climate change and flooding.
Widgery seen from Union Wharf – unpopular condos beyond on Chandler’s Wharf.
Gulls enjoying gurry at the Portland Fish Exchange (display-auction since 1986).
Some of the larger fishing vessels docked at Portland Fish Pier.
US Coast Guard facility at Wrights Wharf (main USCG Station is across the harbor).
Adjacent, on Commercial Street, is the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, Our host.
It advances marine research, ecosystem/climate education, and the blue economy.
