The Leon Guimond Collection

A large collection of Acadian and Franco-American genealogical resources compiled by Leon Guimond of Frenchville is now available to Acadian researchers.

Thanks to his efforts and with the support of the Fort Kent Historical Society and the Acadian Archives at the University of Maine at Fort Kent, the massive collection of books, photographs, notes, maps and related genealogical ephemera is now indexed, cataloged and available to researchers and historical buffs interested in family history.

The collection includes more than 1,200 books and periodicals, dozens of articles and hundreds of photographs, maps and index card notes of family histories.

Now the entire collection is indexed and searchable on the University of Maine System’s online URSUS cataloging database.
