Hi Heather & Listers, Check out this link for an update on the Archives Room. http://www.state.me.us/sos/arc/ They don't anticipate opening until at least July 20th, and right now only have 1 phone line coming in. Because of substantial water damage (no records were lost but many require special treatment and reboxing) and asbestos removal, the Archives Search Room will be closed until July 2, 2001. State Agency access to the State Records Center is unaffected. Our microfilm will be available at the Maine State Library, thanks to their generosity, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with additional hours dependent on the availability of volunteer assistants. For a specific record of birth, marriage or death between 1892 and 1922 only, write to the Maine State Archives Vital Records Request 84 State House Station Augusta, ME 04333-0084 Please forgive delays as we work to recover from our near disaster and respond to research needs. For emergency requests, call 207-287-5795. Marilyn
