New historical resource on France in America

PARIS (AFP) - The US Library of Congress and the French National Library have joined forces to launch a bilingual website exploring the history of the French presence in North America from the 16th to early 19th centuries.

The site, which includes more than 100,000 images from the rare book collections of the two libraries, was launched at a ceremony in Paris on Tuesday.

"France in America" can be found on the Library of Congress site at http://international.loc.gov/intldl/ -- while the French version "La France en Amerique" is at http://gallica.bnf.fr/France-Amerique.
