Midlan Public Library has its Ste. Marie collection books and documents that were collected and used in the reconstruction of Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, it is partially catalogued and is available through the library's online catalogue, the collection is reference only. the library is undergoing an expansion and the Ste. Marie collection will receive more space in the new building.
