General Bibliography
The General Bibliography is based on the sources most frequently cited in individual bibliographies in volume III. It should not be regarded as providing a complete list of background materials for the history of Canada in the 18th century.
Section i provides a description of the principal archival sources used for this volume and is divided by country. Section ii contains printed primary sources: documents and printed works of the 18th century which may be regarded as contemporary sources. Section iii includes various dictionaries, nominal lists, indexes, and inventories of documents. 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 which contain material on the 18th century.
I. ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPT SOURCES
CANADA
ARCHIVES DE LA CHANCELLERIE DE L’ARCHEVÊCHÉ DE MONTRÉAL. This archives, which contains documents dating to 1896 inclusively, consists of photographs, maps, 634 registers in 17 series (including, in particular, the correspondence of the bishops of Montreal), and some 500,000 dossiers containing unbound items relating to dioceses, clergy, laity, institutions, missions, religious communities, etc. For a description of the archives see: RHAF, XIX(1965–66), 652–55; SCHÉC Rapport, 1963, 69–70. There is a detailed inventory of a number of registers and dossiers in RHAF,XIX (1965–66), 655–64; XX (1966–67), 146–66, 669–700; XXIV (1970–71), 111–42.
ARCHIVES DE LA COMPAGNIE DE JESUS, PROVINCE DU CANADA FRANÇAIS, Saint-Jérôme, Terrebonne. Founded in 1844 by Father Félix Martin*, the archives was originally housed in the Collège Sainte-Marie, Montreal, and known by the initials ACSM. In 1968 the records were moved to the noviciate of the province of French Canada at Saint-Jérôme, and are now identified by the initials ASJCF. Richly endowed in the year of its foundation by a valuable gift from the community of the Hôtel-Dieu of Quebec, which had preserved some of the records (1635–1800) of the old Jesuit college in Quebec, the archives contains numerous documents, both originals
and copies, concerning the history of the Jesuit missions in New France, Canada, and the United States, as well as documents relating to the history of the Catholic Church in Canada [see: ARCHIVES DU COLLÈGE SAINTE-MARIE, DCB, I,686] .
Documents from the following sections were used in the preparation of volume III:
The section which consists of 140 metal boxes containing approximately 6,800 numbered documents (personal papers and correspondence, both originals and copies) and the Fonds Bernier and Fonds Baraga, which are not yet numbered:

6,000–6,800: Fonds Prud’homme

ARCHIVES NATIONALES 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 records having a legal value for individuals were to remain in the country, and these were to suffer many misfortunes before the office of the 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 and established a new system of classification.

L’INVENTAIRE DES ŒUVRES D’ART, Québec. In 1940 Gérard Morisset* established the Service de l’Inventaire des œuvres d’art for the purpose of recording and locating works of art. In taking over responsibility for this work in the same year, the government of Quebec gave recognition to a project which had been conducted personally by Morisset for more than ten years. Aided by a staff which he had trained himself, until 1967 Morisset
photographed articles of silver, works of architecture, and paintings, searched parish account books, newspapers, and notarial registers, and accumulated many thousands of documents on artisans and their work. This impressive collection (about 70,000 photographs, 40,000 biographical cards, 20,000 slides, and 5,000 old photographs) had already acquired an archival value as the result of the disappearance of a number of the works of art. The conservation and processing of the collection was undertaken by the Ministère des Affaires culturelles in 1970. In collaboration with the Centre de documentation de l’université Laval, the documents were studied, reclassified according to Geographical location, and described in a manner which allows researchers to identify quickly the title, the symbolic content, and the technical features of each work. The collection is open to all researchers upon application to the Ministère des Affaires culturelles.
PUBLIC ARCHIVES of CANADA, Ottawa. In 1873 the government of Canada commissioned Douglas Brymner and Abbé H.-A.-J.-B. 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, and of collecting original materials, has proceeded since that time.
Many unpublished finding aids are available only in the archives. The following Preliminary inventories and Inventories to manuscript and record groups used in the preparation of volume III have been published by the manuscript division:

These include original and printed items as well as many photocopies of materials, the originals of which are in other archives, mainly French and British.
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 present fireproof building was officially opened on 14 Jan. 1931, and records were transferred from various government departments. The archives also contains court papers, municipal records, family and business papers, collections of societies such as the Nova Scotia Historical Society, community and church records, microfilm copies of deeds and wills from county registries and courts of probate, and a collection of Nova Scotian newspapers. For further information see: C. B. Fergusson, The Public Archives of Nova Scotia (PANS Bull., 19, Halifax, 1963).

ARCHIVES DU MINISTÈRE DES ARMÉES, Pans:
INSPECTION DU GÉNIE. The Dépôt des fortifications was for a long time subject to the
authority of the Ministère de la Guerre; in 1791, however, it was placed under the Direction des officiers du Génie, and later the Comité technique du Génie. The governing authority is now the Inspection du Génie. The aim of the establishment has always been to create a collection illustrating the art of fortification by the accumulation of memoirs, maps and plans, and printed works.
There are two repositories:
Archives du Génie. Situated at the Château de Vincennes, this archives originally included 23 articles. A certain number 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. There remain, however, several registres or cartons which contain information on former French colonies.
Articles used in the preparation of volume III include:
Article 3: Personnel
Article 8: Place française
Article 14: Places étrangères: Amérique septentrionale, possessions anglaises, États-Unis, Louisbourg, île Royale . . .
Article 15: Histoire militaire, campagnes et sièges
Bibliothèque du Génie, 39, rue de Bellechasse. The library contains both manuscript items, dating from the middle of the 17th century, and printed works. The manuscripts are catalogued in France, Ministère de la Guerre, Catalogue général des manuscrits des bibliothèques publiques de France: bibliothèques de la Guerre (Paris, 1911).
Manuscript items used in the preparation of volume III include:
mss in 4°, 66: Collection Lafitte (mémoires divers sur les sièges et campagnes)
mss in fol., 205b: “Registres des lettres écrites de rapport au service des fortifications de l’Isle Royale et du Canada.” 1750–55.
mss in fol., 208: “Estat alphabétique des ingénieurs du Roi en 1743 où sont marqués les apointements qu’ils avoient en 1717 et les grades et augmentations qui leur ont été accordés depuis.” The list stops at the letter V, which is incomplete.
mss in fol., 208c: État des ingénieurs du roi. 1683–1777.
mss in fol., 210f: contains a manuscript account of Louis FRANQUET’s journey to Île Saint-Jean, Baie-Verte, Beauséjour, Fort Gaspereau, and Port-Toulouse in 1751; several letters (with maps and plans) from
Franquet to Noël de Régemortes, dated from Louisbourg in 1751; and a manuscript account of François-Claude-Victor GRILLOT de Poilly’s survey of Île Royale in 1757.
SERVICE HISTORIQUE DE L’ARMEE. This archival group was officially formed in 1688; the earliest volumes date from 1631. Now housed at the Pavillon du Roi, Château de Vincennes, the archives were, before 1919, referred to as the Archives de la Guerre. The organization of the archives is described in Madeleine Lenoir, “La documentation historique militaire en France,” Revue de défense nationale (Paris), numéro hors série (décembre 1952); J.-E. Roy, Rapport sur les archives de France [see section iii]. The archives consists of two separate collections, the historical archives and the administrative archives. A manuscript inventory is available at PAC: Louise Dechêne, “Inventaire analytique des documents relatifs à l’histoire du Canada conservés en France au Service historique de l’Armée.”
The following series from the two collections were used in the preparation of volume III:
Archives historiques
A: Archives antérieures à 1789

ARCHIVES NATIONALES, Paris. The Archives nationales was founded in 1789 to accommodate the original papers of the Constituent Assembly. The papers of the pre-revolutionary administration were added later. The basic inventories are: France, Direction des Archives, Inventaire sommaire et tableau méthodique des fonds conservés aux Archives nationales, lre partie, régime antérieur à 1789 (Paris, 1871); État sommaire par séries des documents conservés aux Archives nationales (Paris, 1891); Catalogue des manuscrits conservés aux Archives nationales (Paris, 1892). Guides to finding aids are: France, Direction des Archives, État des inventaires des archives nationales, départementales, cornmunales et hospitalières au 1er janvier 1937 (Paris, 1938), and Supplément, 1937–54 [by R.-H. Bautier] (Paris, 1955); Gilles Héon, “Fonds intéressant le Canada conservés en France: quelques instruments de recherche,” Archives, 73–1 (Québec), 40–50. J.-E. Roy, Rapport sur les archives de France [see section iii], and H. P. Beers, The French in North America: a bibliographical guide to French archives, reproductions, and research missions (Baton Rouge, 1957), give sketches of the history and organization of the archives. For copies in the PAC of documents in the Archives nationales see: General inventory, manuscripts, I (Ottawa, 1971), 5–48.
The basic classification of the Archives nationales is as follows:
I: Section ancienne (which includes the Fonds des Colonies and the Fonds de la Marine)
II: Service des Sceaux
III: Section moderne
IV: Section contemporaine
V : Section Outre-mer
VI: Département des activités scientifiques, culturelles, et techniques
The following material from sections I, V, and VI was used in the preparation of volume III:
I: Section ancienne
G: Administration financière, etc.
G5: Amirauté et conseil des prises, 1675–1758
L: “Monuments” ecclésiastiques
LL: Registres
M: Mélanges
Fonds des Colonies. These records date from 1458 and consist largely of pre-1815 documents, although some material up to 1898 is included. Eventually they will be integrated with the Section Outre-mer [q.v.]. Colbert established the distinction between papers relating to the Marine and those concerning the colonies and also laid down the major series in the Fonds des Colonies. These series and the many later sub-divisions of series are described in Étienne Taillemite, “Les archives des colonies françaises aux Archives nationales,” Gazette des Archives (Paris), XLVI (1964), 93–116. For copies of manuscripts in the PAC see: General inventory, manuscripts, I, 5–16.

BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE, Paris. The holdings of the BN are based on the collections of the Bibliothèque du Roi, founded by Charles V; collections seized during the revolution (the libraries of émigrés and Paris convents) were added later. From the time of François I copyright has assured it all works printed or published in French territory.
Since 1721 the Bibliothèque nationale has been divided into departments on the basis of the nature of the documents kept: Cartes et plans, Estampes, Imprimés, Manuscrits, Médailles, Musique, Périodiques. For biographical research on Canada the most important is the manuscript department, consisting of documents classified by language as well as independent collections. The French manuscripts are the most numerous and are divided among the Fonds français (Fr.), the Nouvelles acquisitions françaises (NAF), and
the Clairambault, Colbert (Cinq-cents and Mélanges), Joly de Fleury, and Moreau collections. For a description of the BN see: J.-E. Roy, Rapport sur les archives de France [see section iii]; W. G. Leland et al., Guide to materials for American history in the libraries and archives of Paris . . .(CarnegieInstitution of Washington Pubs., 392, 2v., Washington, 1932–43), I: Libraries.

HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY ARCHIVES, London. The HBC archives comprises over 30,000 volumes and files of records dating from the founding of the company in 1670. The archives as constituted at present was established in 1932, and the work of organization proceeded thereafter [see R. H. G.

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. In 1974 the original records will move to Winnipeg, where they will form part of the Manitoba Provincial Archives. Information on the PAC copies is found in PAC Report, 1950, 13–14; 1952, 16–18; 1953–54, 21–22; 1955–58, 44–46.

UNITED SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL, London. Formed in 1965, the USPG is responsible for continuing work formerly carried on by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (incorporated by royal char-
ter, 1701) and the Universities’ Mission to Central Africa (founded, 1857). The archives is in the process of reorganizing and reclassifying some material. Thus classifications used by Canadian archives holding USPG microfilm do not always correspond to those of the archives itself. Indexes are available at USPG, however, and most dated references are easily transferred. For copies of USPG archives documents in the PAC see: Preliminary inventory, manuscript group 17 . . .(Ottawa, 1967).
Documents from the following groups were used in preparing this volume:
A: Contemporary copies of letters received, 1701–38
B: Original letters received from the American colonies, the West Indies, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, 1701–86
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 the first two cover the eighteenth century.
