The
photographs have been published in a book, Acadian Hard Times, compiled
by C. Stewart Doty and published
by the University of Maine in 1991 (it is still in print).
Some of them are also online, as part of an online exhibition "The
American Image: The Photographs of John Collier Jr." organized by
the University of New Mexico's Maxwell Museum of Anthropology. (Go to the
link, click on "The Collection" to see all of his photos.) The photos
in this exhibition are all at the online photo website Flickr; if
you go to "John
Collier Jr's photos" you can search using terms "Gagnon"
and "Maine" to see the photos of this family.
Some of Collier's photos of this family are also online at the website of the Visual Anthropology Review, under the category "Acadians of Maine and Nova Scotia."
I have received permission from the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at the Univ of New Mexico to reproduce some of the photos on this website.
