It was also one of the preferred stopping places for Indigenous peoples during the Woodland period, as well as the site of the Iroquoian village of Stadacona, mentioned by Jacques Cartier in the accounts of his voyages. Québec City, which is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, bears witness to some 400 years of Euro-Canadian history. Former capital of New France, it is the place from which French civilization spread throughout North America as of the 17th century, and it remains a symbol of French culture. After the Conquest, in 1760, Québec continued to hold the title of capital city and was considered one of the chief ports in British North America. During the British Regime, Québec was the seat of the government of the Province of Québec and its main military post. The Constitutional Act, passed in 1791, created Lower Canada and Upper Canada. Québec became the capital of Lower Canada and continued to be the place of residence of the governor, the representative of the British Crown. The two Canadas were united by the Act of Union in 1840. The Parliament of United Canada was originally located in Kingston, but it later moved to Montréal. After 1849, Toronto and Québec alternately played the role of capital. In 1867, with Confederation, Québec was designated the capital of the Province of Québec, while Ottawa became the seat of the Government of Canada. The history of Québec City is reflected in its urban fabric, now fully integrated into the spectacular natural surroundings, as well as in its cadastral plan, public squares, parks, architecture and many archaeological sites. Its military installations illustrate the layout of fortified colonial towns and are the most complete preserved example of this type of military infrastructure in North America. 13 4e Rue Limoilou Autoroute Dufferin-Montmorency N 14 Rue des Commissaires Est 15 Saint-Charles River Boulevard Langelier Lower Town Rue Saint-Joseph Est Boulevard Charest Est 12 08 Rue de Saint-Vallier Est 06 09 07 Côte de la Potasse 10 11 Côte de la Canoterie Rue Saint-Jean 03 01 Upper Town Rue Saint-Jean Boulevard René-Lévesque Est Old Québec 05 Grande Allée Est Rue Saint-Louis 04 02 St. Lawrence River Boulevard Champlain 04 Archaeological site Limits of the Old Québec heritage site Rue Champlain (UNESCO) 01 New Barracks and Artillery Park 06 Place Jean-Pelletier 12 Jardin Jean-Paul-L’Allier 02 Dufferin Terrace Site of the King’s Shipyard, the Saint-Paul Market and Working-class domestic site in the Saint-Roch Saint-Louis Forts and Châteaux site railyards neighbourhood 03 Hôtel-Dieu 07 Intendant’s Palace site 13 Parc du Vieux-Passage 08 Méduse Presumed location of the bridge head built on the 04 Place-Royale Saint-Charles River in 1759 Prehistoric site and Champlain’s Habitation Site of pottery workshops and tanneries 14 Hôpital général 05 Musée de la civilisation 09 Potash works Site of the Guillaume-Estèbe House 10 McCallum brewery 15 Parc du Moulin-de-l’Hôpital Prehistoric and historic site 11 Saint-Roch and Saint-Charles breweries The Intendant’s Palace site and other archaeological sites mentioned in this publication.

  • 2002 Program
    WELCOME to the FIRST JOINT INTERNATIONAL MEETING As an attendee of the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), American Society of Animal Sci- ence (ASAS), and the Canadian Society of Animal Science (CSAS) joint meeting, you will be partici- pating in the first joint meeting of CSAS with ADSA or ASAS and the first joint meeting of ADSA and ASAS outside the United States. We could not have selected a more charming place than Québec City with its culture, architecture, and history to embark on these “firsts.” Like the other firsts, the scientific program is second to none. There were over 800 abstracts submit- ted for oral presentation (over 280 hours) in either scientific sessions or symposia. When you get tired of listening, you can continue learning by reading the more than 800 poster abstracts that will be displayed and visit the commercial exhibits. Thus, beginning on Saturday with the Joint EAAP- ASAS Workshop on Biology of Lactation in Farm Animals and ending with abstracts at 11:45 AM on Thursday, there are 124 total hours of time in which you can participate in over 280 hours of presen- tations, read hundreds of scientific abstracts, enjoy the charm of Québec City, and get a few hours of sleep. To highlight any symposia, invited papers, or particular scientific sessions is an injustice to all of the other cutting-edge, knowledge-leading opportunities available at this year’s meetings. Check out all of the latest information on symposia, scientific oral and poster sessions, plus the schedule of events on the website: www.fass.org/quebec02.

    CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE During my chairmanship of the Archives' Section for 1972-73 much original work and thinking was done in the areas of copyright and literary rights in unpublished manuscripts, business records, archives training especially for the course we sponsor with the Public Archives of Canada, microfilm reading equipment, oral his­ tory and the revision of the Union List of Manuscripts. There is no apparent lack of interested workers; the challenge rather is to articulate the concerns and needs of the increasing numbers of archivists, The Canadian community of archivists is increasing in num­ bers. Our archival establishments have grown considerably and have elaborated the need for detailed understanding of specialized re­ cords handling, attendant gadgetry and specialized conservation procedures including the use of computerization in our control and description activities. Because this is so, the work of our com­ mittees is important. I cannot be sure how typical I am of archivists in public archives but the demands on me have been such that there is little respite to reflect at length on the broad issues of the Section. A chairman, and indeed the Section as a whole, needs a supportive framework which spreads the load and compensates for the necessity to be immersed in the work of our home archives. As I said to the Prairie Archivists in May, at a formative stage it is fine to be informal but I believe we have to move on now and be a little more organized if there is to be output. It is heartening to see the natural development of regional archivist groups.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
