General Bibliography

The General Bibliography is based on the sources most frequently cited in the individual bibliographies of volume X. It is not, therefore, a complete list of background materials for the history of Canada during the period covered by this volume.

Section I provides a description of the principal archival sources used for this volume and is divided by country. Section II has two parts, A and B: A contains printed primary sources including documents published by the various colonial, provincial, and federal governments, and the works printed in the 19th and 20th centuries that may be regarded as contemporary sources; B provides a listing of the contemporary newspapers most frequently cited by the contributors to the volume and includes an introduction listing some sources for background information on the newspapers. Section III includes various dictionaries, nominal lists, and guides to printed matter. Section IV contains secondary works, mainly written in the 20th century, including a few general histories, relevant series, and theses. Section V describes the principal journals containing material relevant to the 19th century as well as individual articles frequently cited in the text.

ARCHIVES DE LA SOCIÉTÉ DE JÉSUS, PROVINCE DU CANADA FRANÇAIS, Saint-Jérôme (Terrebonne). These archives were founded in 1844 by Father Félix Martin*. Originally they were housed at the Collège Sainte-Marie in Montreal, and were designated by the abbreviation ACSM. In 1968 they were transferred to the noviciate of the Jesuits of the ecclesiastical province of French Canada, at Saint-Jérôme, and are now designated by the abbreviation ASJCF. In the year of their founding these archives received a rich gift from the religious of the Hôtel-Dieu in Quebec. They contain numerous documents relating to the history of the missions of the Society of Jesus in Canada [see ARCHIVES DU COLLÈGE SAINTE-MARIE, DCB, I, 686].

Vol. X of the DCB mentions several documents found in:

A section of 140 metal boxes containing about 8,000 numbered documents (personal papers or correspondence) in the form of original manuscripts or copies

Section A (documents relating to the Jesuit missions in Ontario around the Great Lakes), 1845–1924, about 8,000 numbered documents

Section B–106 (letters and fragments of letters of Jean-Baptiste Meilleur), 118 items

Section D–7 (various documents relating to the fathers of the Society of Jesus)

ARCHIVES DE LA SOCIÉTÉ HISTORIQUE DU SAGUENAY, Chicoutimi, Que. This important repository for the history of the Saguenay was organized by the Société historique du Saguenay, but also received documents from the Séminaire de Chicoutimi and the research notes on the history of the region accumulated by Mgr Victor Tremblay after 1920.

The ASHS alsoholds recorded and printed information, oral history, maps, photographs (43,000, as well as 65,000 negatives), a museum, and a library. The classification system uses titles for sections and numbers for each unit ; there is an index. The Documents and the Dossiers cover the whole period of the history of the Saguenay from its discovery in 1535 and contain a little information on its earlier history. Since 1920 the society has been collecting oral history, “les Mémoires d’anciens.” The SHS has published books and pamphlets since 1934. One of the repository’s most important holdings is its collection of Publications saguenéennes which contains almost all the newspapers and periodicals published in the region. A more complete description of ASHS can be found in Victor Tremblay, “Les archives de la Société historique du Saguenay,” RHAF, IV (1950–51), 3–16.

The sections used in preparing this volume were

Documents. 5,220 originals, 93 copies

Dossiers. About 35,000 items, totalling 21,300

pages

Price, 1810–  . [Inventory in progress.]

Mémoires d’anciens. 692 memoirs, totalling

3,550 typed pages

ARCHIVES DE LA VILLE DE MONTRÉAL. The archives division of the Secrétariat municipal of the city of Montreal was created in 1913 to hold the city’s administrative documents. The AVM contains 12,000 feet of documents classified into files or volumes. The section Documents administratifs is composed of all the official papers from 1796 to the present. The section Documentation contains extracts from articles in newspapers, periodicals, and other printed matter reporting on subjects or individuals relating to the administration and history of Montreal. This last section contains the correspondence (originals and copies) of several mayors and the original music of Alexis Contant*. The AVM also holds copies of material from other archives including the terrier of the Sulpiciens and documents relevant to the mission of Saint-François-Xavier of Caughnawaga. There are indexes which will soon be available on microfilm. Materials used in vol. X include

ARCHIVES DE LA VILLE DE QUÉBEC. The archives department of Quebec City was officially organized in 1925 under the direction of Valère Desjardins. Its most important original documents are those of the municipal administration from the time of the incorporation of Quebec in 1833 until the founding of the AVQ. The archives contains at least 1,200 cubic feet to which will soon be added a large number of municipal documents. The oldest documents, in broken series, go back as early as 1796, but complete series begin from 1814.

The archives is in the process of reorganization (classifying and preparing an inventory), but there are already several finding aids (a list can be found in the guide prepared by the AVQ) and a complete list of collections will soon be available. While the latter is being prepared, the archives is proceeding with a complete inventory of the Fonds Baillairgé, which contain 400 plans and original drawings of the buildings of Quebec by Charles Baillairgé* dated 1846–99. The AVQ plans to publish a descriptive inventory of these drawings and plans, and will make photographs and slides available.

For the period covered by vol. X the documents of the municipal administration are those of the municipal council and each of the different committees (Aqueduc, Chemins, Feu, Finances, Police, Règlements, Traverse, etc.), except from 1836 to 1840. In 1836, the corporate charter was not renewed and the city was administered for four years by justices of the peace. When the registries of the Cour municipal from 1848 are transferred to the AVQ, the full collection of documents for the period 1833–1928 will include about 600 volumes. The main groups for this period are

Registres des procès-verbaux du conseil municipal, 1833–36,

1840–1928

Registres des procès-verbaux de chaque comité,

1833–36,1840–1928

Pièces justificatives présentées au conseil par

chaque comité, 1833–36, 1840–1928

Rapports présentés au conseil par chaque

comité, 1833–36, 1840–1928

ARCHIVES DES SŒURS GRISES, Montreal. The documents that were at the Hôpital Général de Montréal when Madame d’Youville [Dufrost* ]

came there as administratrix in 1747 make up the Fonds “Charon,” and are the basis of this archival repository. Subsequently, items necessary for the general administration of the community were added. The classification for this repository is alphabetical for the dossiers and chronological within each dossier. These archives contain thousands of documents, the earliest dating from 1663, and about 300 maps and plans.

The principal documents used in vol. X were:

“Ancien journal, 1688–1877”

“Chapitre des fondations, 1849”

“Chroniques de Saint-Boniface (Man.), 1843–  ”

“Correspondance de Saint-Boniface, 1843–  ”

“Registre d’admissions, vêtures et professions, 1771–  ”

ARCHIVES DU SÉMINAIRE DE NICOLET. Located since 1969 in a building of the seminary of Nicolet, the ASN is kept in 8 filing cabinets and 26 metal boxes. Although the oldest original document is dated 1706, the majority are from the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the most important sections are the Section Henri Vassal, which includes material on the Odanak Indian reserve (near Pierreville, Que.), and the Archives de la seigneurie de Nicolet, given to the seminary by the seigneur, Arthur St Lawrence Trigge, in 1939. The latter collection includes a large number of volumes and registers from the seigneury. The following documents were used in vol. X

Collection Charles-Édouard Bois, 44 vols. of notes and historical documents [copies at PAC, MG 24, B26 (Jean-Baptiste Meilleur collection) ]

ARCHIVES DU SÉMINAIRE DE QUÉBEC. One of the most important collections of documents in North America. The archives dates from the founding of the seminary in 1663, but Mgr Thomas-Étienne Hamel* and Mgr Amédée-Edmond Gosselin* may be considered to have founded the ASQ at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The ASQ contains some 1,172 feet of documents (seminary and private papers, the oldest from 1636 and the majority from 1675 to 1950), 2,000 maps, and 160 feet of engravings and photographs.

ARCHIVES DU SÉMINAIRE DE SAINT-SULPICE, Montreal. An important repository for the history of the Montreal region and of the Sulpicians. On his departure in 1665 Paul de Chomedey* de Maisonneuve left there the greater part of his papers, dating from 1642. This repository, divided into 49 sections, contains 190 feet of documents for the years 1586–1950, and about 1,200 maps and plans.

The following sections were used in vol. X:

Communautés religieuses

Œuvres et institutions diverses

ARCHIVES DU SÉMINAIRE DE TROIS-RIVIÉRES. In 1918 the authorities of the seminary, gave Abbé Albert Tessier the task of arranging the archives of the institution. Three years later he published the

first work of what would become the collection of “Pages Trifluviennes.” In 1926 a fire completely destroyed the library and its contents; because of this the institution received books from Abbé H.-A. Scott, Cyrille Tessier, Édouard Bureau, and René-Montarville Boucher* de La Bruère. Then, in 1934, important gifts of documents were added including the Pierre Boucher collection and the Hart collection. The latter contains thousands of accounts, notes, and letters on Canadian economic life in the 19th century. The archives, housed at the Séminaire Saint-Joseph, is a valuable source for the political, religious, and economic history of the region. ASTR also holds numerous maps and newspapers of Trois-Rivières, the most important for the period 1865–1963. For a more complete description see, AQ, Rapport, 1961–64, 69–134.

ARCHIVES HISTORIQUES OBLATES, Ottawa. An important repository for the history of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Canada from the time of their arrival in 1841. Even before 1930 Father Jean-Marie-Rodrigue Villeneuve* had begun to collect a large number of documents relating to the Oblates. In 1933, Father Léo Deschâtelets obtained from Rome copies of the writings of the order’s founder, minutes of general and executive meetings, and letters from the first Oblates in Canada.

The AHO holds personal papers including the manuscript of Father Louis Le Jeune*’s Dictionnaire and the notes of Father Louis Babel*’s trip to Labrador. There are also many Indian language manuscripts, some written by Oblates [see Gaston Carrière, “Une riche collection de manuscrits en langues indiennes,” Culture(Québec), XVIII (1957), 105–12].

In 1941, the archives began to microfilm numerous documents, which were important to the history of the Oblates in Canada, from other repositories. Now the AHO’s most valuable possession is its large number of copies (typescripts, photocopies, or microfilm), which enable the researcher to find, in one location, almost all documents relating to the Oblates in Canada. The microfilm section alone comprises more than 500,000 pages and a descriptive file with about 250,000 cards. There are several indexes and also a photographic archives and a library of about 10,000 volumes including a few works printed in Indian languages and a large collection of Oblate publications, in particular Missions des O.M.I, which are to the Oblates what the Relations were to the Jesuits.

ARCHIVES NATIONALES DU QUÉBEC. The administrators of New France took back to France, after 1763, documents relating to the government of the colony – an action contrary to international law at the time but agreed to under articles 43, 44, and 45 of the capitulation of Montreal. Only archives having a legal value for individuals remained in the country and these were to suffer many misfortunes before an offilcial repository was created. The Bureau des Archives de la province de Québec – now the Archives nationales du Québec – was created in 1920 [see Gilles Héon, “Bref historique des Archives du Québec,” ANQ, Rapport, 1970, 13–25 ]. Some 3,300 feet of documents are preserved there today (official and private papers, originals and copies), the majority for the period 1663–1867. In 1968, the ANQ published an État général des archives publiques et privées du Québec and established a new system of classification of documents. Cited in vol. X:

BIBLIOTHÈQUES DE L’UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL. In April 1971 the libraries of the Université de Montréal created the Service des collections particulières whose purpose was to make available to researchers the numerous valuable documents that the university had acquired through purchase and donation. At the same time the service began a series of publications. Used in vol. X:

Collection Baby. Made up of an important collection of original material gathered by François-Louis-Georges Baby* (1832–1906), and bequeathed to the Université de Montréal. Including more than 20,000 items, it covers almost every subject in Canadian history from 1602 to 1905. In 1942 Camille Bertrand began to inventory this collection and to arrange the material into two large divisions: Documents divers and Correspondance genérale. Documents divers mainly consists of individual items arranged under 20 general titles in alphabetical order from A to S. The division includes 42 files, 10 boxes, 200 registers and books, and 18 folio-volumes. Correspondance générale, arranged alphabetically by names of the signatories of the letters, contains about 12,000original letters kept in 120 boxes. The collection is too large and varied to describe here in full but the researcher may consult either the repository’s 20,000manuscript index cards or the Catalogue de la Collection François-Louis-

Georges Baby, rédigé par Camille Bertrand, préface de Paul Baby et introduction par Lucien Campeau (Publ. du Service des collections particulières, Bibliothèques de l’Université de Montréal, Montréal, 1971). Typescript copies of most items in the Collection Baby are held by PAC.

BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE DU QUÉBEC, DÉPARTEMENT DES MANUSCRITS, Montreal. In 1965 the Bibliothèque Saint-Sulpice (since 1967, the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec) owned enough archival material to create an autonomous manuscript department.

PROVINCIAL ARCHIVES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, Victoria. Established in 1893, this is the oldest archival institution in western Canada. Its manuscript collection is rich in material on the exploration of the Pacific northwest by land and by sea and in material for the fur trade period. The official records for the colonial period (1849–71) are remarkably complete; records for the provincial period are also held. Substantial collections of private papers, some business records, and a large number of maps, including many of early cartographic interest, are held. There is an extensive collection of visual records – photographs, paintings, and lithographs. Integral to PABC’s holdings is an extensive and valuable collection of some 50,000 volumes of books and pamphlets as well as printed ephemera relating to the Pacific northwest. The archives holds almost complete files of newspapers for the colonial period and selected titles for later years.

The collections of PABC have been used extensively in the preparation of this volume. The principal sources of information have been the correspondence of the employees of the HBC, both official and private, the correspondence and records of colonial governors, secretaries, and other government officials, and departmental correspondence. Several other major collections of papers have also been drawn upon often: the Archibald McDonald papers, the James Douglas papers, the Kenneth McKenzie papers, the Crease collection, and the John Sebastian Helmcken collection.

PROVINCIAL ARCHIVES OF NEW BRUNSWICK, Fredericton. Established in 1968, the PANB contains government records series from 1785 as well as several private manuscript collections, including that of the York, Sunbury Historical Society. Records and manuscripts formerly with the New Brunswick Legislative Library have also been transferred to the archives.

Materials used in the preparation of vol. X include:

Department of Justice, Probate Court records

Lieutenant governor’s letter book, 1867–74

New Brunswick, Executive Council, Draft minutes, 1843–56

PROVINCIAL ARCHIVES OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR, St John’s. Created by an act of the

Newfoundland House of Assembly in 1959, the provincial archives took over the collection and preservation of existing public archives from Memorial University of Newfoundland, which had performed the task in the previous three years. Before 1956 government documents were scattered through departmental offices.

The main holdings of the PANL consist of Newfoundland government documents. In addition the archives holds either microfilm and/or transcript copies of the British colonial records, 1689–1934, and the records of the Northern District Court, Harbour Grace, 1799–1945. With the exception of newspapers, 1810–1969, the remainder of the collection consists of miscellaneous court records, government publications, private papers, and business records. For a list of the collections held by PANL see: A preliminary inventory of the records in the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, comp. John P. Greene ([St John’s], 1970).

The materials mainly used in the preparation of vol. X include:

Government documents

PUBLIC ARCHIVES OF CANADA, Ottawa. In 1873 the government of Canada commissioned Abbé H.-A.-J.-P. Verreau* to investigate the holdings of English and French archives with a view to copying documents concerning the early history of Canada. The work of transcribing and microfilming such manuscripts has proceeded since that time. The PAC . also holds, and continues to acquire, extensive private and official manuscript and record collections particularly relating to the 19th and 20th centuries.

Many unpublished finding aids are available only in the archives, but between 1951 and 1967 the Manuscript Division published a series of Preliminary Inventories. In 1971 the first General Inventory, Manuscripts, Volume I, MG 1–MG 10 (Ottawa, 1971) appeared launching a new series to replace the old inventories – “It reworks them, completes them and presents them in a more systematic fashion.” The only section of the General Inventory which applies to vol. X is “MG 9, Provincial, local and territorial records.”

Until the General Inventory is completed the following Preliminary Inventories will remain useful to researchers of this period:

Manuscript Group 17, Religious archives (1967)

Manuscript Group 19, Fur trade and Indians, 1763–1867 (1954)

Unpublished addenda for the above inventories are available for consultation at the PAC. Also available are typescript copies of the following unpublished inventories:

“Manuscript Group 12, War Office, Treasury, Audit Office, and others.” This collection is in the process of transfer through Manuscript Groups 13 to 16. It is not known in 1971 exactly which departments will continue to be listed in MG 12 and which will be transferred.

“Record Group 6, Department of the Secretary of State.”

“Record Group 31, Dominion Bureau of Statistics.”

“Record Group 68, Registrar General.”

For Record Group 30, which contains the papers of the Canadian National Railways

and the various companies that preceded it,

an inventory is in progress.

Manuscript Group 25, which contains numerous

genealogies and is a holding unit for minor

collections, is also in the process of revision.

PUBLIC ARCHIVES OF NOVA SCOTIA, Halifax. Founded in 1857 when the Nova Scotian government decided to preserve and arrange “the ancient records and documents illustrative of the History and progress of Society in this province,” thus establishing the first provincial archives in Canada.

The archival repository has two offices situated at the University of Saskatchewan, one on the Regina campus and the other on Saskatoon’s.

There are also microfilm copies of documents from other archives containing material on Saskatchewan. For a list of the collections and documents of this repository see, SAB, Report, 1945–46 through to . . . 1970.

UNITED CHURCH ARCHIVES, Toronto. The Canadian Methodist Historical Society was organized in 1899, and the Presbyterian Historical Committee in 1917; the collections were consolidated in 1950 and the United Church Archives was constituted in its present form in 1953. Since that time, regional depositories have been established in each of the four western provinces, in Montreal, Halifax, and St John’s, Nfld. Collections gathered by college librarians and private individuals have been consolidated in all of these centres. In 1967 a large collection of Methodist material relating to the Maritime provinces which had been gathered at Mount Allison University for almost a century was moved to and consolidated with a similar Presbyterian collection at Pine Hill College in Halifax.

The collection at Toronto is the largest, and includes correspondence of the home and foreign missionary societies of the denominations now within the United Church, as well as microfilm copies relating to Canada from the parent societies in Great Britain and the United States. The collection also contains the official records of the various bodies merged into the United Church and copies of almost all the denominational publications, papers of prominent individuals within these churches, some parish records for Ontario, pictures of home and overseas mission work, printed works relating to the history of the denomination, the archives of the Ryerson Press, and the official records and files of correspondence of the various boards, departments, and committees of the Canadian Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational, and Evangelical United Brethren churches.

carried on by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (incorporated by royal charter, 1701) and the Universities’ Mission to Central Africa (founded, 1857). The archives is in the process of reorganizing and reclassifying some material.

Documents from the following groups were used in preparing this volume:

Journal of proceedings of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Comprises bound

and indexed volumes of the proceedings of the general meetings held in London from 1701, and four appendices, A, B, C, D (1701–1860) of which only the last two (1840–60) have references to Canada.
