Creating Acadia National Park: The George B. Dorr Research Archive of Ronald H. Epp

The Creating Acadia National Park Research Archive (CANPRA) is a vast research archive on the life of George Bucknam Dorr and the creation of Acadia National Park. This archive has been donated to the Jesup Memorial Library.

The archive primarily consists of a collection of paper resources located and copied in federal, public, and academic libraries, archives, and historical societies in the United States and the United Kingdom, including manuscripts, interview and correspondence transcripts, maps, books, articles, and other diverse clippings. They were created over a fifteen year period prior to the publication of Creating Acadia National Park: The Biography of George Bucknam Dorr
(Bar Harbor: Friends of Acadia, 2016).
