In 1999, the Acadian Cultural Society's private collection of historical and genealogical books, manuscripts and microfilms were officially transferred to the auspices of the Fitchburg Public Library. This was done in recognition of the Library's long standing commitment to house, preserve and make these holdings available to researchers, as well to allow this sizeable collection to be properly catalogued and maintained for generations to come.            

This collection, now known as The Acadian Collection of the Fitchburg Public Library is permanently housed in the Fitchburg Public Library, 610 Main Street, Fitchburg, MA 01420 Tel: (978) 345-9635. For the most part, the main collection of printed matter can be found in the Library's Willis Room and is accessible only through the librarian. The society's microfilm collection of resources from the diocese of Moncton can be found in the main library, and can be accessed at any time or with the assistance of the library staff. Please call the library ahead for the current schedule of hours.

We are constantly adding to these holdings with new books and periodicals as they arrive.
