The Society of Franco-America (SFA) at Lewiston-Auburn College/University of Southern Maine is committed to the preservation, celebration, and development of the rich heritage of French North America.

We will reach out to both French-speaking and non-French speaking people who are interested in the French presence and influence in North America through education and community involvement. We will also promote the use of the extensive collections held by the Franco-American Heritage Collection at Lewiston-Auburn College/University of Southern Maine and support efforts to increase its resources and materials. Furthermore, since French North America is a vibrant contemporary phenomenon, we seek to build bridges between its exciting, culturally diverse societies - from the muddy banks of the Saskatchewan to the golden beaches of Haiti, from the brick-lined streets of New England industrial cities to the stucco leisure communities of Mexico, from the high tech centers of Silicon Valley in California to the jazz and Zydeco salons in Louisiana.

Our Motto is: Remember Yesterday, Celebrate Today, Envision Tomorrow!
