Drouin Collection
One of the most important genealogical resources for Quebec and French-Canadian research, the Drouin Collection contains parish registers and civil records from Quebec, Ontario, Acadia, New England and other regions connected to French-Canadian history.
Exclusively on Genealogy Quebec: browse a newly digitized version of the collection, offering clearer images and improved readability.
Drouin Miscellaneous Collections
These collections bring together a wide range of archives preserved by the Drouin Institute, including photographs, family documents, parish material, historical files and other unique records.
Search for traces of your family, city, parish, school, business or local community, and uncover documents that go beyond standard baptism, marriage and burial records.
City Directories
Trace your ancestors through the streets, homes and businesses of the past with Genealogy Quebec’s city directories. Access the directories of cities such as Montreal, Quebec, Laval, Ottawa and Hull, Cornwall, Rimouski and more, going back to the 19th century.
BMD Cards
The BMD Cards are index-style writeouts of baptism, marriage and burial records, often containing the key names, dates and places needed to identify the original record. They can be especially useful for regions or periods not covered elsewhere, and with the new search feature, you can search for a family name and quickly find matching card files.
