This 1969 Press Herald photograph shows the Unitarian Universalist All Souls Church, built in 1867 as part of the Westbrook Seminary campus. Today, the campus is occupied by the University of New England and the church building is known as the Eleanor DeWolfe Ludcke ’26 Auditorium.

The Portland Room of the Portland Public Library is in the process of organizing and conserving the archival collection of original Portland Press Herald, Maine Sunday Telegram and Evening Express photographic negatives — a major collection that spans from 1937 to 2005.
