Franco American Centre Reference Library
The Franco American Centre’s library and reading rooms are home to hundreds of resources in Franco American Studies. Many of these resources are available in Maine’s library system and can be found on the Maine library catalog, URSUS ; others are unique to the Centre (Click here for a basic Inventory of the Franco American Centre Archives). All our resources are available for your research and enjoyment. Our library is also home to various meetings, meals, films, concerts, and presentations – open to the public – as well as graduate and undergraduate courses.
Please visit the Franco American Centre and peruse our shelves. To help you find resources, use our online catalog on MILS, (choose “Franco-American Centre Library” from the drop-down menu in the left hand corner).
