General Bibliography
This General Bibliography is based on the sources most frequently cited in individual bibliographies in Volume I. It should not be regarded as providing a complete list of background materials for the history of Canada up to 1700. Sections I and II however do give a reasonably full guide to the documentation for this period. Section II (primary printed sources) will be found to include also printed works of the 17th and 18th centuries which may be regarded as contemporary sources.
I: ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPT SOURCES
ARCHIVES DE LA CHANCELLERIE DE L’ARCHEVÊCHÉ DE MONTRÉAL. These archives contain photographs, maps, 634 registers divided into 17 series which include the correspondance of the bishops of Montreal, and some 500,000 separate items. The latter are particularly relevant to Volume I since they date from 1675. On the French régime there are documents concerning the diocese of Quebec; the parishes of Notre-Dame de Montréal, Saint-François-de-Sales and Saint-Vincent-de-Paul on Île Jésus, Saint-Joseph of Rivière-des-Prairies, of L’Assomption and of Repentigny; the priests of Saint-Sulpice; the religious of the congregation of Notre-Dame; the religious hospitallers of Saint-Joseph; and the Hurons.
ARCHIVES DE LA CHARENTE-MARITIME, La Rochelle. The classification system is the same as that for all departmental archives in France. Marcel Delafosse, Guide des Archives de la Charente-Maritime (La Rochelle, 1958) gives an introduction to the contents of the archives and finding aids.
For Volume I persons, the following series are most important:
B (Cours et juridictions avant 1790), Amirauté de La Rochelle (B 174–264, 5580–6094)
E (Titres de familles, Communautés, Notaires), Notaires.
ARCHIVES DE LA CONGRÉGATION DE NOTRE-DAME, Montréal. These archives are in the process of being catalogued.
The most important document cited in Volume I of the DCB/DBC is:
M1: Ecrits autographes de sœur Marguerite Bourgeois. The original manuscript was destroyed in a fire, but the archives possess a microfilm and photostats of the copy prepared for the cause of beatification, M1,
considered an original version; a copy sent to the Archives of the Vatican, V2; and another, slightly different copy, V1, also in the Vatican.
ARCHIVES DE LA PROVINCE DE QUÉBEC. At the Conquest, articles 43, 44 and 45 of the capitulation of Montreal – contrary to the custom of international law at that time – permitted the administrators of New France to take back to France the documents relating to the government of the colony. Only archives having a legal value for individuals were to remain in the country and these were to suffer various misfortunes before the office of the Archives of the Province of Quebec was formed in 1920, with Pierre-Georges Roy as archivist. (See Fernand Ouellet, “L’histoire des archives du gouvernement en Nouvelle-France,” RUL, XII (1958), 397–415.) The archives now comprise 3,300 feet of documents – official and private papers, originals and copies – the majority for the period 1663–1867.
The following series are cited in Volume I:
Collection de pièces judiciaires et notariales, 70 bundles in 122 cartons, each collection of documents numbered very irregularly from 1 to 4,324. The series covers the entire French régime and also includes many documents from the English period.
Documents divers, 2 vols. Judicial and notarial documents relating especially to the government of Trois-Rivières under the French régime.
Fois et hommages, Régime français, 1666–1764, 4 vols.
Manuscrits concernant la Nouvelle-France, 2e série,1614–1727, 11 vols. Manuscript copies of documents in various French archives.
Ordres du roi, 1663–1745, 81 vols. Copies of
documents in AN, Col., B series. Also on microfilm.

numbered 1 to 110.
La Prévôté de Trois-Rivières, 1646–1757, 14
vols.
Registres des Insinuations du Conseil souverain, 10 registers, dated 23 Sept. 1663 to 21 Aug. 1758.
ARCHIVES DE L’ARCHEVÊCHÉ DE QUÉBEC. Contains about 650 feet of documents, an analytical card file for all the documents prior to 1940, and a Répertoire général des Registres de l’archevêché de Québec in 6 vols., from 1659 to the present.
The principal series concerning the French régime:
Lettres des évêques de Québec
Registres d’insinuation de 1659 à 1870, 30 cahiers

AN, Archives des Colonies. These archives date from about 1669. Colbert established the distinction between papers relating to the Marine and those concerning the colonies and also laid down
the major series in the Archives des Colonies. The complicated development of the archives and its close proximity to the Archives de la Marine under the department of the Marine, as well as later subdivisions of series, sometimes make it difficult to identify the documents in this depository in various 19th- and 20th-century calendars. For copies of manuscripts in the PAC in the latest classification system see: Inventaire provisoire, Fonds des manuscrits N° 1 (Ottawa, 1952).
Series containing information on persons in Volume I:

G: See AN, Archives d’Outre-Mer
AN, Archives de la Marine. The papers relating to the Marine, now housed in the Archives nationales, have been collected in the Archives de la Marine since the formation of the Marine under Colbert. In 1882 the Archives des Colonies were separated from the Marine. For descriptions of the archives and documents see: Didier Neuville, État sommaire des Archives de la Marine antérieures à la Révolution (Paris, 1898); —— et al., Inventaire des Archives de la Marine, série B: service général (9v., Paris, 1885–1930); and J.-E.

ARCHIVUM ROMANUM SOCIETATIS IESU, Rome. Despite the destruction of a large part of these archives following the brief suppression of the order in 1773, a number of valuable documents on the history of the Company of Jesus in North America have survived. These include correspondence between the general of the order and missionaries, annual letters from America, catalogues and death notices which provide biographical information. Unfortunately the archives are not open to researchers. However the American Jesuits and the Congregation have published certain of their more important manuscripts. The Institutum Historicum Societatis Jesu in Rome, has published the series “Monumenta Historica Missionum Societatis Jesu.”
BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE, Paris. The library collection of the kings of France, from the time of François I, form the basis of the BN. In the 17th century the manuscripts and printed works were separated. From 1926 the libraries of the Arsenal, Opéra, and Conservatoire national de musique have functioned in conjunction with the Bibliothèque nationale. The main divisions at the present time are Cartes et Plans, Estampes, Imprimés, Journaux et Périodiques, Manuscrits, Médailles, and Musique. Most important for Volume I are the manuscripts, which number over 160,000. Most of the documents have been integrated with the Fonds français (Fr., nos. 1–33264) or with Nouvelles acquisitions françaises (NAF, nos.1– ); documents most recently integrated
have double numbering. Among the collections not integrated are Baluze, Cinq-Cents and Mélanges de Colbert, and Clairambault. J.-E. Roy, Rapport sur les archives de France relatives à l’histoire du Canada (PAC pub., 6, 1911), 663 ff. outlines the organization of the BN and lists the 18-volume catalogue to the Fr. and NAF (1–10,000) for which there is a Table générale alphabétique (6v., Paris, 1931–48). Another guide is W. G. Leland, Guide to materials for American history in the libraries and archives of Paris, Volume I: Libraries (Carnegie Institution of Washington publication 392, 1932).

Gay transcripts from English archives (1630–1776), 124 volumes; and the Annie H. Thwing typescript, in 22 vols., Suffolk deeds, 1630–1800, compiled by streets (1916) and card index, from Boston records.
MASSACHUSETTS, SECRETARY OF THE COMMONEALTH’S OFFICE, ARCHIVES, Boston, Mass. These archives contain primarily the records of the General Court of Massachusetts from the 17th century until the present day.
The following series of documents are of interest for 17th-century Canadian history:
“Massachusetts Archives.” This is the title usually given to the 326 volumes of legislative records rearranged in the 19th century by J. B. Felt and his successor according to subject. Excellent name card-indexes have been prepared for about 55 volumes on such subjects as colonial affairs
