The ACA Archive encompasses the life of the organization, and sheds light on many aspects of its 100+ year history. Regarding its general history, the ACA Archive consists of records about key anniversaries, directories, and videos of various events and reports. Most notably, there are records related to the 1946 unsuccessful attempt by ACA staff to unionize under the auspices of the C.I.O. Meetings of key groups including the Haute-Cour, Cour Supréme, and board of directors are extensively represented, albeit with gaps in the 1930s and 1990s. The conventions/congresses of the ACA are also well documented. The conventions’ records are not consistent, but often include meeting notes, speeches, banquet records, district activities, credential letters, correspondence, and news clippings. The 25th, 26th, 29th, and 30th conventions are not represented in this collection. The ACA Archive also contains an interesting assortment of medals, ribbons, and pin bars that were worn by convention attendees, as well as general members. Medals, ribbons, and two functioning embossers from the Institut Jacques Cartier, absorbed by the ACA c. 1967, are also included. Lastly, the Archive contains videocassettes of the television program Bonjour!, produced in Manchester, New Hampshire, and broadcast in French, 1987-1990s.
