Maine Memory Network Items

MMN items are digital copies of historical items contributed to the Maine Memory Network database by Contributing Partners. They include: documents, photographs, textiles, artifacts, maps, etc.

You may use any of the materials in the MMN database. Open a new window or tab on your browser, and search the MMN database: (www.mainememory.net). Identify the number of the item you want to add to your page. You can find the item's number in the item's detail record on the MMN.

Type the item number in the MMN Item Number box. Choose the size and location of the item for how you want it to appear on your page. If you choose to, you can create a title for the item and add a caption.

You can also use the item as a link to an external page. The image will appear on your page and when users click on it they will be taken to another page or site that you determine. To enable this, add a URL in the "Image Link on Page" box.
