Achieving Bibliographical Control over the Franco-American Printed Heritage
Description
A brief historical essay commenting on the wide and various publication of French language periodicals (dailies and other newspapers) in New England and Quebec during the period of great cross-border migration, between 1860 and 1930. The author's argument for finding, identifying, collecting, and archiving these publications that document an historical period and long-term event for which little other access exists. The importance of this historical data not only for American immigrants, but for Canada, and for a better knowledge of the impact of emigration on economy and national identity in Quebec. Efforts toward the discovery and preservation of this French language print material as an attempt at more deeply informing borderland peoples and governments about their pasts. Featured in the May 1996 newsletter of the Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions.
