LEWISTON – Anthropologist and documentary photographer Mark Silber will give the next “Voices” lecture presented by Museum L-A and the Lewiston Public Library.

The third in the series will be held from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, April 11, at the Lewiston Public Library’s Marsden Hartley Cultural Center. There is no admission charge. “Voices” features a series of guest lecturers focusing on the community’s industrial history and interpreting its effect on the future.

Silber of Buckfield has been doing research and documenting Maine for the past 35 years. He teaches at Lewiston-Auburn College and has written four books using oral history and documentary photography.

In 1982, Silber produced a film, “Notre Vie, Notre Travaille” (“Our Life, Our Work”), about retired Franco-Americans, using interviews and photos from their family albums.

In his “Voices” talk, Silber will show part of the film, with audio of interviews, and discuss the importance of social networks, adaptation of immigrants to new cultural environments, concepts of ethnicity and the notion of culture change.

“Voices” will continue in the fall with a new series.
