Raymond H. Fogler Library, Academic library at University of Maine, Orono, United States.
Raymond H. Fogler Library is the main academic library at the University of Maine in Orono, offering books, journals, government documents, and research materials. The building spans several floors, each organized around different subject areas, with spaces for group work and individual study.
The library was planned in the early 1940s, but construction was delayed by World War II and it finally opened in 1947. It was later named after Raymond H. Fogler, a former University of Maine student who became a business leader and supported the university generously.
The library holds a large collection of works by Maine authors and documents related to the state's history. Visitors can browse through materials that capture the everyday life and traditions of the region across many generations.
The library is open to University of Maine students at all times, but outside visitors should check access conditions before coming. Opening hours change depending on the day of the week and the academic calendar, so it is worth confirming times in advance.
The library holds the Sewall Aerial Photographic Collection, an archive of aerial photographs taken over Maine and New England across several decades. These images show how the region's landscapes, towns, and coastlines have changed over time in ways that ground-level photography simply cannot capture.
