In 1994, the National Park Service published Implementing the Maine Acadian Culture Preservation Act, a 96-page draft conceptual framework and environmental assessment. Photograph by Randy Devost, 2004 The North Atlantic Region charged an interdisciplinary planning team to develop--in consultation with the public--a strategy implementing the Maine Acadian Culture Preservation Act. Acadian Culture in Maine constitutes the team's findings to date. While it is admittedly an incomplete portrayal of Maine Acadian culture, the report is the basis for the next steps in NPS planning. A study of options for implementing the Act (scheduled for release in the spring of 1994) presents the concepts developed by the planning team for National Park Service actions to interpret and preserve Maine Acadian culture.

The National Park Service will continue to develop, gather, compile, store, analyze, and update information about natural and cultural resources and regional demographic, ethnographic, and socioeconomic data relevant to planning and implementation of the Act. The data presented in Acadian Culture in Maine has been collected in a variety of ways.
