During the Revolution, 140,000 works confiscated from the libraries of convents and emigrated nobles were added to the collections of the Académie, which were also seized. This ensemble formed a literary depository in the convent of the Feuillants, the management of which was entrusted by decree to the municipality in 1803. This was the birth of the municipal library. It continued to grow in the 19th century through donations and purchases.

               Dictionary of Canadian biography
The DCB/DBC was made possible by James Nicholson. The Toronto businessman left the bulk of his estate to the University of Toronto for the purpose of creating a biographical dictionary of Canada. The project officially began in Toronto in 1959. Since the Université Laval became associated in 1961, work has been conducted in French and English, and the publication appears in both languages. The website now contains almost 9,000 biographies, which describe the lives of those whose deaths or last-known activities occurred between the years 1000 and 1940. Also included are entries on voyagers whose activities precede 1000, as well as several dozen biographies of individuals who died after 1940. A new biography is published every week.

                   NARA - National Archives and Records Administration
The National Archives was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt, but its major holdings date back to 1775. They capture the sweep of the past: slave ship manifests and the Emancipation Proclamation; captured German records and the Japanese surrender documents from World War II; journals of polar expeditions and photographs of Dust Bowl farmers; Indian treaties making transitory promises; and a richly bound document bearing the bold signature "Bonaparte"—the Louisiana Purchase Treaty that doubled the territory of the young republic.
NARA keeps only those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. By now, they add up to a formidable number, diverse in form as well as in content.
