Administrative history
Le journal Le Franco-Albertain (Le Franco) a été fondé le 16 novembre, 1928 et était originalement nommé La Survivance. Jusqu'au années 1970s, il était financé et dirigé par les Oblats. Durant ses premières années, le journal était décrit comme étant européen, et il était relié à des évènements comme l'avenir du fascisme et la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale. Au fur des années suivantes, le journal a commencé à représenté la communauté et population locale.
En 1967, le rédacteur en chef, M. Jean-Maurice Olivier a convaincu les Oblats à changer le nom du journal au Franco-Albertain. Durant son temps avec le journal, il a aussi change le prix d'abonnement de $2 à $3.50.
En 1973, M. Guy Lacombe est devenu rédacteur en chef et durant ce temps il y a eu des négociations pour pour vendre le journal et la presse. Les Oblats ont vendu le Franco-Albertain à l'ACFA pour $1. Malgré le fait que l'ACFA est le propriétaire de Le Franco, le journal est indépendant du point de vue administratif et éditorial.
Depuis 1976, les rédacteurs inclus: Gaétan Tremblay, Maxime Jean-Louis, Michel Paquette, Paul Denis, Yves Lavertu, acting, Pierre Brault, Jean Luc Thibaut, Pascale Bréniel, François Pageau, Nathalie Kermoal et Eric Batalla.
Le Franco est présentement le seule journal de langue française en Alberta. Il est disponible en copie papier et en ligne chaque semaine.
The newspaper Le Franco-Albertain (Le Franco) was founded on November 16, 1928 and was originally named La Survivance. Until the 1970s it was financed and controlled by the Oblates. In the early years of the newspaper it was described as European, as it was related to events such as the rise of fascism and the Second World War. As the years went by it more closely reflected the community and local population.
In 1967 the editor-in-chief, Mr. Jean-Maurice Olivier convinced the Oblates to change the name of the paper to Franco-Albertain. During this time the format also changed and the subscription increased from $2 to $3.50.
In 1973 Mr. Guy Lacombe became the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and it was during his time that negotiations took place regarding the sale of the newspaper and the printing press. The Oblates sold the Le-Franco Albertain to the ACFA for $1. Even though the ACFA is the owner of the Le Franco, Albertain it is an independent newspaper from an administrative and editorial point of view.
Since 1976 editors included; Gaétan Tremblay, Maxime Jean-Louis, Michel Paquette, Paul Denis, Yves Lavertu, acting, Pierre Brault, Jean Luc Thibaut, Pascale Bréniel, François Pageau, Nathalie Kermoal and Eric Batalla.
The Le Franco-Albertain is currently the only French-language newspaper in Alberta. It is available in paper and online weekly.
Custodial history
Ce fonds fut acquis par les Archives de l'Université de l'Alberta (UAA) de la part des Archives Saint-Jean, anciennement situé au Campus Saint-Jean de l'Université de l'Alberta. Le but principal des Archives Saint-Jean était de préserver le matériel archivistique qui avait déjà été acquis au fil des ans par l'ancien IRFOC (Institut de recherche francophone de l’ouest canadien) et ensuite par l’ancien IPFOC (Institut pour le patrimoine de la francophonie de l’ouest canadien).
This fonds was acquired by the University of Alberta Archives in 2019 from the Archives Saint-Jean that was previously housed at the University of Alberta’s Campus Saint-Jean. The Archives Saint-Jean’s main goal was to preserve archival materials that had already been acquired by the IRFOC (Institut de recherche francophone de l’ouest canadien) and subsequently by IPFOC (Institut pour le patrimoine de la francophonie de l’ouest canadien).
