Scope and Content

From the Sub-Series:

This subseries comprises mostly 35mm color slides taken by Muskie, who was an avid photographer. Muskie also enjoyed doing slide shows for his friends, and he spent a great deal of time organizing and labeling the slides and carousels.

The subjects covered in this subseries tend toward the personal, rather than the professional, and include his children, holidays, an annual cribbage tournament he held with college friends, and travel. Dates range from the 1950s through the 1980s.

The subseries also contains a small number of 120 mm slides which were apparently not taken by Muskie.

1957 - 1991

Access Restrictions

Five categories of materials are restricted in the Muskie papers, all of which are noted in container lists, internal database records and physically on the affected boxes and folders. In many cases, restricted material comprises only a portion of a restricted folder. Researchers may request access to a restricted folder, in which case archives staff may review the folder and provide access to any materials that should not be restricted.
