General Bibliography
The General Bibliography is based on the sources most frequently cited in the individual bibliographies of volume VI. It should not be regarded as providing a complete list of background materials for the history of Canada in the 19th century.
Section i describes the principal archival sources and is arranged by country. Section ii is divided into two parts: part a contains printed primary sources including documents published by the various colonial governments; part b provides a listing of the contemporary newspapers most frequently cited by contributors to the volume. Section iii includes dictionaries, indexes, inventories, almanacs, and directories. Section iv contains secondary works of the 19th and 20th centuries, including a number of general histories and theses. Section v describes the principal journals and the publications of various societies consulted.

QUÉBEC, MINISTÈRE DE LA JUSTICE. The Archives civiles and the Archives judiciaires du Québec, which are under the joint jurisdiction of the courts and the Ministère de la Justice, are now separate repositories as a result of the reclassification of the former Archives judiciaires.

UNITED SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL, London. In 1985 the society’s archives were closed and its holdings were being transferred to Rhodes House Library at the University of Oxford.

Some materials, particularly in the C/CAN series, were reorganized and reclassified by the USPG

The following collections were consulted:
C/CAN: Unbound letters from Canada, 1752–1860.
