To promote the reconstitution of Acadian families, the genealogy section contains a large quantity of primary sources such as parish registers and censuses. For example, the Center has copies of all the pre-dispersion registers still available, as well as copies of the registers of Acadian parishes today. To fill in the gaps, when primary sources are lacking, the Center has important secondary sources in the form of books, magazines, brochures, newspaper clippings and valuable genealogical manuscripts such as those of Placide Gaudet.
