This collection includes the travel diaries of Odelie Demers and M. and Mme. Télesphore Demers. Odelie (1872-1937) was the daughter of Télesphore (1847-1950) and Henriette (1851-1923) Demers. The Demers family moved to Sanford, Maine from Quebec in 1890. These diaries detail trips the family took back to Quebec. Odelie and her sister Éva traveled to Quebec in 1898, and Télesphore and Henriette did the same in 1908.
