In conjunction with Picturing Waterville, Waterville Creates! will also be presenting Photography + Migration: Waterville Stories and Snap at the same time in the Common Street Arts gallery.

The Photography + Migration project presents a selection of video narratives and photographs representing the history of Waterville. The videos displayed in the gallery were recorded at a community event at the Waterville Public Library on April 22, 2017 where area residents shared their family photos and migration stories. Community members of all ages talk about their family’s arrival in Maine, their cultural heritage, and the role that photographs play in preserving it. The large photographs in the gallery are reproductions of vintage Waterville portraits and street scenes. They belong to several historical photography collections recently donated to Special Collections, Colby College Libraries.

The Snap project is an ongoing, interactive, community photography project where community members submit snapshots of Waterville that capture a personal and meaningful connection for the viewer—whether a landscape, building, streetscape, landmark, or other setting within Waterville.
