Established in 1976 by a group of francophone researchers from Laurentian, the Institut franco-ontarien’s objectives are to do research, produce publications, organize conferences and lectures and gather documentation on the various aspects of Franco-Ontarian population. The institute’s research projects are funded through grants and contracts. Its main orientations over the recent years are education, health, third age, and culture and society. Since 1978, the institute publishes the Revue du Nouvel-Ontario, conference proceedings and reports; it has an established collaboration with Prise de Parole publishing house to help produce books and periodicals on Francophones in Ontario. It assists the library in maintaining the franco-ontarian collection. Its members come from all parts of the province and from outside as well and every year they elect a board of directors.
