AUGUSTA, Maine – The State of Maine today unveiled the Maine.gov Media Gallery. The Media Gallery, media.maine.gov, is the new one-stop location within the Maine.gov portal for searching and viewing audio and video files created by Maine state government agencies.

“The Maine.gov Media Gallery is an exciting addition to the State’s Web site,” said Richard Thompson, Chief Information Officer. “Not only does it provide an easy way to find multimedia content, but in addition, all video and audio will be accessible to individuals with disabilities through closed-captioning and audio transcription. Maine has placed a high priority on making information accessible to all citizens and Maine is the first state to produce a fully accessible multimedia channel.”

The public can search media files by keywords and media type (audio or video). The Gallery automatically highlights the most popular, recently added, and featured content. Users can also view media by selecting a specific channel for a given state agency, and browse that agency’s featured, recent, and most popular content.

The Maine.gov Media Gallery is part of the Maine.gov Web portal, the State of Maine’s official Web site. Maine.gov provides access to 400 interactive online government services and tools, including news and alerts, hunting and fishing licenses, vehicle registration renewal, and professional license renewal. Maine.gov and the Media Gallery were developed by InforME, the state’s eGovernment portal provider.
