Twenty-nine photographs taken by Lewis Hine of child labor within the sardine industry of Eastport and Lubec, Maine in 1911. The photographs were part of efforts by the National Child Labor Commission to examine the working conditions of children within industrial America. Lewis Hine's photographs for the Commission are from the collection housed at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. In 1999, the Quoddy Maritime Museum of Eastport, Maine sponsored an exhibit of Lewis Hine's sardine industry photographs in Eastport.

A Cross-Border Collaboration between the Maine College of Art of Portland, Maine, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the Tides Institute and Museum of Art of Eastport, Maine. Thirty-one printmakers from MECA and NSCAD University reinterpreted the Passamaquoddy Bay Region using a NOAA/CHS nautical chart of the region. The project unfolds into a cross-border vision of the region, a running commentary on the line we cross in any act of mapping, between object and subject; information and knowledge; fact and imagination. The exhibition travelled to the Maine College of Art, the Tides Institute & Museum of Art, the Maine State Capitol building in Augusta, Maine, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre at St. Andrews, New Brunswick.

One hundred works of art are presented in this first online selection drawn from the art collections of the Tides Institute & Museum of Art (TIMA), collections that have been building since the institute's founding in 2002. The Tides Institute & Museum of Art is committed to building comprehensive collections of art that are reflective of the greater Passamaquody region in particular and that are suggestive of broader U.S./Canada artistic links between New England and the Atlantic Provinces and the wider world. The selection includes works from the early 19th century to the present. The selection will change over time. The current selection includes drawings, prints, paintings, photographs, and a quilt. Future selections will include sculpture, pottery and Passamaquoddy baskets. To view the one hundred works, click on the image above or click: TIMA: One Hundred Works from the Art Collections.
