Description

A 1992 community based oral history project co-sponsored by the Maine Folklife Center and the Franco-American Center at the University of Maine generated a series of 35 interviews focusing on the culture and history of the French Canadian immigrant community located on French Island, Old Town, Maine.

The project resulted in a book of photographs, interview excerpts, and articles, Nos Histoires de l'Île: History and memories of French Island, Old Town, Maine (1999).
