The Jesup Archive & Special Collections
The Jesup’s archival holdings amount to an almost-unknown and completely untapped source for research on the history of Acadia and Mount Desert Island.
Currently, most of these items are on long-term loan, divided between several archive facilities throughout the state. It is our plan to unite these materials and give them a permanent home in the Jesup’s planned expansion. This treasure trove of Island history will be returned to our community, housed in state-of-the-art facilities that are open to all.
