L'Evangeline

The documentary corpus covers the years from 1887 to 1957 and focuses mainly on northeastern New Brunswick, although some news articles from other regions are also indexed. We respected the original format of Mgr. Robichaud’s work, that is, the information is presented in the form of a summary of the article as it appeared in the newspaper and is accessible via three indexes: by people, places, and topics. It is therefore important to realize that what appears in this database is a summary of the article as it appeared in L’Évangéline. For the full article, the newspaper must be consulted, which is available on microfilm at a number of provincial institutions (libraries and archives). Several digitized editions of the newspaper are available through Google's "Newspaper Archives" project.

In terms of figures, here is a breakdown of the volume of information contained in this portal:

  • 15,128 article summaries
  • 29,733 people are referenced
  • 1,533 places are reference
