The transcriptions of these 1977 interviews are currently available in the Portland Room, Portland Public Library

DOMJ and the Public Public Library have recently digitized the oral tapes

The plan is to index the audio tapes and uploaded onto the website of a new Portland Public Library history website

DOMJ needs to raise $4,500 as its contribution to this project.

Financial contributions for this undertaking can be made via the Tzedakah box on the home page or by sending a gift (marked DOMJ) to the Jewish Community Alliance (a 501(c)3 organization) , 57 Ashmont St., Portland, Maine 04103. Major donors can select a range of contributions to honor their own Maine immigrant family or to inspire and inform the next generation of Maine Jews.
