Paper Mills Documentary Project Seeks Photos & Related Materials11:58AM / Monday, July 14, 2008
LEE – The Paper Mills Documentary Project seeks photos and other documents that relate to paper making and related activities of Schweitzer-Mauduit employees.
The Project will document the historical and cultural connection of paper making and the town of Lee and the immediate area, and will focus on the paper making business that was founded in the early 19th century and most recently run by Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. The materials will be used in a documentary video. Documents from any time in the 200-year period are sought.
Photos that depict employees at work, at company holiday parties and other functions, together socializing informally, or otherwise involved in their everyday lives will be useful. Additional materials will also be used: photos of buildings, employees in area restaurants and stores, post cards, and any material that might be helpful in creating a picture of the paper mills and the paper makers in the town.
All documents should be identified, and when possible, people and activities in the photographs should be identified as well.
All photos and materials will be copied and promptly returned. Please include a self-addressed envelope or a clear return address on the original envelope. Not all photos or other materials will be used, but will help to create a database with which the editors will work.
Future related projects on paper making in the region are planned.
For more information, call 413-298-3468. Send materials to P.O. Box 436, Stockbridge, Mass. 01262. |
