The Raymond H. Fogler Library is an academic library at the University of Maine in Orono. The library's collections include approximately more than 1 million volumes, nearly 4 million periodical subscriptions, 1.6 million microforms, 2.2 million United States Federal, Maine State, and Canadian federal and provincial government publications.[1]

History

The library's foundation was laid in 1941, but was not completed until 1947 due to World War II. The architects were William Harold Lee of Philadelphia and Crowell & Lancaster of Bangor.[2] In 1962, it was renamed to honor Maine native, University of Maine alumnus and the final Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Raymond H. Fogler.[3] In the following year, the library became a regional depository site for government documents.

Special Collections

The Folger Library is a depository for a number of collections, including the multi-generation political families of the Williamsons and the Hamlins.[4] It is also home to the works of writer Stephen King, journalist Ralph W. 'Bud' Leavitt Jr. and politician William Cohen.[3] It houses significant holdings related to the environment, resource conservation, and related policy, such as the Great Northern Paper Company Records, the Dickey-Lincoln Hydro Project Collection, and the W. Kent Olson Conservation Papers.[5] The library is home to the Sewall Aerial Photographic Collection, containing about 1 million aerial images of Maine and New England that were taken by the James W. Sewall Co. of Old Town. The earliest photographs in the collection date to 1948.[6]

Magazine

The Raymond H. Fogler Library Magazine is a quarterly magazine that covers stories, news, and events from the library.[7]
