July 28th is the solemn anniversary of the Great Upheaval, a tragic and pivotal moment in Acadian history.
In 1755 many thousands of Acadians were forcibly displaced from the Maritimes, facing unimaginable hardships and loss during this exodus.
To commemorate this history, Robertson Library has created a special display highlighting the resilience and enduring spirit of the Acadian people. Found in our library lobby, this display features a curated selection of engaging books and historical accounts, along with other resources that chronicle the Acadian experience from their early settlement to the present day.
All materials featured in the display are available for loan!
