ARCHIVAL GRANT North Yarmouth Academy was awarded a $4,000 grant in September by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission to preserve and provide better access to its historical collections. Alumni parent, Jay Robbins of Robbins Historical Research, is serving as the Project Archivist at NYA as we prepare to celebrate our bicentennial in 2014. The grant, when combined with additional monies raised for the project and a generous in-kind match, will allow NYA to establish an official school Archive. All the many records, photos, school publications, rolled architectural drawings, ephemera, artifacts, scrapbooks, etc. that have accumulated over the years have now been brought together into one place. In two rooms on the second floor of Weld House, these historical materials have been sorted, catalogued, rehoused in appropriate archival file folders and storage boxes and can now be made available to the school community and the public. “Taken together, these records are one of the most complete and important sources of information concerning the history of education in Maine, both public and private,” explained Robbins. They document the rise of college preparatory academies in the 19th century, the birth of public high schools as a result of State directives, and the education of international students (Cuba, Africa, Germany, etc.) starting in the mid-19th century. They reveal circumstances of an all-male boarding school, the divisive community politics around rival Yarmouth Institute and the early issues of educating women. NYA was originally chartered as a coed institution. NYA welcomes volunteers to help with this project. “We will happily copy any of your NYA related photos and memorabilia and add these materials to the Archives,” said Robbins. You can reach him on Mondays at NYA (207-847-5404) or at archives@nya.org.
