General Bibliography
The General Bibliography is based on the sources most frequently cited in individual bibliographies in Volume II. It should not be regarded as providing a complete list of background materials for 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 contains primary printed sources, including calendars and inventories of documentary material, and printed works of the 17th and 18th centuries which may be regarded as contemporary sources. Section III includes various dictionaries and nominal lists. Section IV contains secondary works of the 19th and 20th centuries, including a large number of general histories. Section V describes the principal journals which contain material on the French régime and lists a few articles which were used frequently in Vol. II.
I. ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPT SOURCES
CANADA
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 II 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 at Rivière-des-Prairies, at L’Assomption, and at Repentigny; the priests of Saint-Sulpice; the religious of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame; the Religious Hospitallers of Saint-Joseph; and the Hurons.
ARCHIVES DE LA CONGRÉGATION DE NOTRE-DAME, Montreal. In the process of being catalogued.
The principal documents used in Vol. II of the DCB were:

M1, Écrits autographes de la sœur Marguerite Bourgeois. As the original manuscript was destroyed in a fire, there remain at the ACND only microfilms and photostats of a copy (M1) made for the cause of beatification (considered as the basic text), of a copy (V2) sent to the Vatican archives, and of
another copy (V1), slightly different, which is also preserved at the Vatican.
ARCHIVES DE L’ARCHEVÊCHÉ DE QUÉBEC. Contains about 1,060 feet of documents, an analytical card file for all documents prior to 1940, and a Répertoire général des registres officiels de l’archevêché in 6 vols., from 1659 to the present. A partial inventory of documents for the period 1659–1730 can be found in APQ Rapport, 1939–40, 157–353 ; 1940–41, 333–473; and 1941–42, 179–298.

ARCHIVES DE LA SOCIÉTÉ DE JÉSUS, PROVINCE DU CANADA FRANÇAIS, Saint-Jérôme (Terrebonne). These archives were founded in 1844 by Father Félix Martin. They were housed at the Collège Sainte-Marie in Montreal originally, 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. 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. II 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
Fonds Rochemonteix, 28 notebooks, numbered from 4,001 to 4,028, which were used in the preparation of the works of Camille de Rochemonteix, Les Jésuites et la Nouvelle-France au XVIIe siècle and Les Jésuites et la Nouvelle-France au XVIIIe siècle [see ROCHE-MONTEIX, Section IV]
A section of original manuscripts, written by Jesuit missionaries; these manuscripts are classified.

ARCHIVES DES FRANCISCAINS DE QUÉBEC. Contains copies of documents concerning the Canadian Recollets, 1615–1849. These copies, gathered by Fathers Odoric-M. Jouve and Archange Godbout, are handwritten and not easily legible, and have not been completely classified. There are two sections where the classification work is more advanced: the Dossiers biographiques des Récollets and the dossiers of the parishes where these
religious worked. The Dossiers biographiques were used in Vol. II.

ARCHIVES DES Sœurs GRISES, Montreal. The documents which were at the Hôpital Général de Montréal when Madame d’Youville came there as administratrix in 1747 make up the Fonds “Charon,” and are the source of this archival repository. Subsequently, items necessary for the general administration of the community were added to this. 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. II were
“Concession par M. Dollier, supérieur du Séminaire de Montréal à M. Charon et à ses associés d’un emplacement . . . près de Montréal pour l’établissement de la maison de charité, . . . 28 octobre 1688”
“Constitution des Frères Hospitaliers de la Croix et de Saint-Joseph”

ARCHIVES DU 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 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 many misfortunes before the Bureau des Archives de la province de Québec – now the Archives du Québec – was created in 1920. (See Fernand Ouellet, “L’histoire des archives du gouvernement en Nouvelle-France,” RUL, XII (1958), 397–415.) 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 AQ published an État général des archives publiques et privées du Québec and established a new system of classification of documents. We have used this classification in this volume.

PUBLIC ARCHIVES OF CANADA, Ottawa. In 1873 the government of Canada commissioned Abbé H.-A. 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.
Many unpublished finding aids are available only in the archives, but the Manuscript Division has published the following Preliminary Inventories and Inventories:
Fonds des Manuscrits N° 1, Archives des Colonies (1952)
Fonds des Manuscrits No 2, Archives de la Marine; No 3, Archives nationales; No 4, Archives de la Guerre (1953) (now reorganized as Service historique de l’armée; a manuscript inventory of this section is avail-
able for use at the PAC : Louise Dechêne, “Inventaire analytique des documents relatifs à l’histoire du Canada conservés en France au service historique de l’armée”).
Fonds des Manuscrits No 5, Ministère des Affaires étrangères (1955)

Unpublished “addenda” for the above inventories are available for consultation at the PAC. Also available are typescript copies of the following unpublished provisional inventories
“Fonds des Manuscrits N° 6, Archives départementales, municipales, maritimes et de bibliothèques (France)”
“Fonds des Manuscrits N° 7, Bibliothèques de France (à Paris)”
“Manuscript Group 36, Finding aids to sources in other archival repositories”

Leveson Gower, “The archives of the Hudson’s Bay Company,” Beaver (Winnipeg),
outfit 264 (December 1933), 40–42, 64]. A publishing programme was undertaken by the Hudson’s Bay Record Society [see section II], and in 1949 the HBC and PAC arranged jointly to microfilm the records. Information on the PAC copies is found in PAC Report, 1950, 13–14; 1952, 16–18; 1953–54, 21–22 ;1955 58, 44–46.

ARCHIVES DU COMITÉ TECHNIQUE DU GÉNIE, Paris. These archives, which are housed at the Château de Vincennes, were originally divided into 23 articles (i.e. series). A certain number of the original articles have been turned over to other archives, notably article 9 (Colonies françaises), which is now in AN, Section Outre-Mer (Dépôt des fortifications des colonies), and article 16 (Cartes), which has passed to the BN.
The following articles are of interest for Canadian history:
Article 3: Personnel
Article 14: Places et pays étrangers: Amérique septentrionale, Possessions anglaises, États-Unis, Louisbourg et l’île Royale.
Article 15: Histoire militaire, campagnes et sièges
ARCHIVES DU MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES, Paris.

BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE, Paris. The library collection of the kings of France, from the time of François I, forms 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 II 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 the Nouvelles acquisitions françaises (NAF, nos 1– ); documents most recently integrated have double numbering. Among the collections not integrated are Baluze, Cinq Cents de Colbert, Mélanges de Colbert, and Clairambault.
For an outline of the organization of the BN, see J.-E. Roy, Rapport sur les archives de France relatives à l’histoire du Canada (PAC pub., 6, 1911), 655–848. For the 18-volume catalogue to the Fr. and NAF (1–10,000) 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). See also BN, Département des manuscrits, Catalogue des manuscrits de la collection Clairambault, par Philippe Lauer (3v., Paris, 1923–32); Catalogue des manuscrits de la collection des Cinq Cents de Colbert, par Charles de La Roncière (Paris, 1908); Catalogue des manuscrits de la collection des Mélanges de Colbert, par Charles de La Roncière et P.-M.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Boston, Mass. Founded in 1791, it is the oldest historical society in the United States. About half the holdings of the society are manuscripts and transcriptions. SeeS. T. Riley, The Massachusetts Historical Society 1791–1959 (Boston, 1959) and “The manuscript collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society: a brief listing,” M.H.S. Miscellany, no.5 (December 1958).
Of special interest for 17th- and 18th-century Canadian history are the Parkman transcripts from European archives (1565–1768), 100 volumes, the F. L. Gay transcripts from English archives (1630–1776), 124 volumes, and a considerable collection of manuscripts concerning the expeditions against Louisbourg.
MASSACHUSETTS, SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH’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- and 18th-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 (including letters received and sent to other North American
and West Indian colonies), commerce, depositions, foreign affairs, judicial and pecuniary matters, and maritime records.
Executive records of the Council (called Council Records), about 150 vols. For the 17th and 18th centuries, the records cover 1650–56, 1686–87, and 1692 on.
J. B. Poore’s transcripts from French archives, from the discovery of America to 1780, 10 vols. Copies of these copies were published 40 years later by the Quebec legislature as Coll. de manuscrits relatifs à la N.-F. [see section II; see also H. P. Beers, The French in North America: a bibliographical guide to French archives, reproductions, and research missions (Baton Rouge, La., 1957), 153–56].
For copies of documents in the PAC see: Preliminary inventory, Manuscript Group 18, pre-Conquest papers (Ottawa, 1964).
NEWBERRY LIBRARY, Chicago. The Edward E. Ayer collection contains material on the archaeology and ethnology of the Indians of North and South America and their relations with whites.
Used in Vol. II was the census of Father Pierre de La Chasse (1708): “Recensement général fait au mois de Novembre mile Sept cent huit de tous les Sauvages de l’Acadie qui résident dans la Coste de l’Est, et de ceux de Pintagouet et de Canibeky, famille par famille, . . . comme aussy le recensement des françois Establis a la dite Coste de l’Es.” (MS 751)
NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, Boston, Mass. The society specializes in family history and genealogy and its collections are on a national scale. It also has one of the largest collections on this continent of copies of English parish records.
NEW YORK STATE, ARCHIVES, Albany, N.Y. On the development and present organization of these
various archives see E. F. Rowse, “The archives of New York,” American Archivist, IV (no.4, 1941), 267–74, and Historical Records Survey, Guide to depositories of manuscript collections in the United States (Columbus, 1938), 76–77.
Of interest for 17th- and 18th-century Canadian history are the Colonial Manuscripts, transcribed from various European archives (England, France, Holland), and published in full as Documents relative to the colonial history of . . . New York (see sect. II); on this collection, see H.P. Beers, The French in North America: a bibliographical guide to French archives, reproductions, and research missions (Baton Rouge, 1957), 145–53.
OTHER FOREIGN ARCHIVES
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 Society 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. The archives are not open to researchers, but microfilm copies of material from ARSI relating to the Americas can be found at Saint Louis University, Missouri. The American Jesuits and the Congregation have also published certain of the more important manuscripts in ARSI. The Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu in Rome has published the series “Monumenta Historica Missionum Societatis Iesu.”
The following collections were used in the preparation of Vol. II:
Francia 17, 23, 24, 25/1, 25/II
Gallia 10, 15/I, 110/I, 110/II (microfilm copies of latter two in the PAC)
