Eleanor Ruth Mayo died on January 30, 1981. Her executor, Ruth Moore, made a gift of Eleanor’s photographic collection in 1988. The Eleanor R. Mayo Collection of more than 772 images consists of negatives, contact sheets and prints, many of which are photographic copies Eleanor made from various family collections belonging to Mount Desert Island residents, now long dead. Eleanor spent years on historical research that she compiled in the extensive indexes (Mayo Volume I and II) also part of the collection. I was the library archivist when the gift was made and subsequently worked on cataloging the collection from 1988 until 2006.
