This month’s cover features a circa 1910 photograph of textile mill workers and other Lewiston, Maine, citizens walking on Chestnut Street between two textile mills during shift change. The image is part of the University of Southern Maine’s (USM) Franco-American Collection. The Franco-American Collection is an archive of people of French-Canadian descent in Maine, focusing on southern and central Maine, and particularly Lewiston and Auburn Maine, where we are located, and where the Collection started in 1972. The mission of the collection is to preserve and promote Franco-American culture and heritage in Maine by providing digital and physical access to unique archival materials and educational programming for members of the Franco and USM communities and interested members of the public.
