Welcome to the Katahdin Ethos Photo Gallery

Get ready to experience, like never before, Northern Maine's history during the century-long era when the Great Northern Paper Company dominated the paper-making industry and built the town of Millinocket, Maine, right next to it.

Sit back in your favorite recliner and take a journey in the 20th century through the photo galleries with nearly 2,000 photos to experience our Northern Maine culture and the hard work it required through the years for both paper mills and the towns to succeed at the enormous levels they did.

Many of these images have never been available other than in the original Polaroid format tucked away in the Great Northern Paper mills, and we're excited to share them with you today. Each gallery is growing continuously to remain the biggest and best collection of Great Northern Paper Company photos anywhere on the internet and for you to enjoy.

If you have photos you would like to share with the world, please click the 'Add Photos to the Gallery button' below, which will bring you to a page where you can upload and send them to us, and we'll add them to the gallery. Your contribution of photos is appreciated and essential in helping keep our history alive for future generations.
