Lost Atusville: A Black Settlement
from the American Revolution
by Marcus LiBrizzi.

The Story of a Black settlement known as Atusville near Machias, Maine.  The author explores the folklore surrounding the community using documents and oral history sources. The result is the recovery of a number of remarkable tales involving the participation of slaves in the American Revolution, the outbreak of racial violence, rumors of the Underground Railroad, and encounters with the apparitions of the dead.

Story Bank Institute July 7-10, 2009

University of Maine, Orono

At Story Bank, we think stories of people & their places are the most interesting of all.  Join us this summer to find out more about collecting, documenting, and presenting these traditions at Story Bank Institute.  Sponsored by the Maine Folklife Center and Cultural Resources Inc., the four day institute will train you to collect, document, and present local stories.  Each day, participants will learn fieldwork techniques, audio and video recording, digital photography, archiving and developing public presentations based on narratives.  A team of documentary specialists and folklorists will guide you through the ethnographic process as well as basic documentary techniques.
