Regarding the exhibit at the Commonwealth Museum: The archivist who put the exhibit together is not Acadian but was very moved by the documents he came across regarding the exile of the Acadians from Nova Scotia. So much so that he asked for permission to put the exhibit together. In addition to all of the petitions and records contained in Volumes XXIII and XXIV at the archives [which are all of the petitions, etc.] he contacted the Massachusetts Historical Society and was able to scan some of the documents from Winslow's Diary and other pertinent and important documents. It is a simply marvelous exhibit both at the museum and online! It is the first time such an exhibit has been put together by the State of Massachusetts 250 years after the first Acadians arrived in Boston as exiles. As an Acadian descendant, I am very grateful to Mark Vassar, the archivist who put it all together. The exhibit was supposed to end in June as I had posted earlier but Mark now tells me that it will remain for another six months and perhaps more - he will keep me informed.
