Description

Nowadays hundreds of unidentified photos tend to pile up in our computers and telephones. This book on the Acadians of Prince Edward Island shows the cultural and historical importance of carefully documented and organized collections of photos. From some points of view this book is like an old-fashioned family album, except that it illustrates the ordinary life of not just one but many Acadian families. In most cases the photos are informal snapshots taken by Acadians themselves over a time period stretching from the late 1800s to the 1960s. All these snapshots take us back to the olden days of large families and subsistence farming when the church was the centre of village life. Georges Arsenault has created a fascinating portrait of Island Acadians of yesteryear.
