Bibliothèque de l'Assemblée nationale du Québec, Parliamentary library in La Cité-Limoilou, Canada
The Library of the National Assembly of Quebec holds two million documents, including archives, newspapers, and rare books within the Parliament Buildings of Quebec.
Established in 1802, the library relocated multiple times during the 19th century, following government movements between Kingston, Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec City.
The Chauveau Collection, acquired in 1890, contains 3,660 volumes and 1,589 brochures that represent Quebec intellectual history from the 19th century.
The library provides consultation spaces, document loans, and digital databases for parliamentarians, researchers, and citizens interested in governmental publications.
Three major fires in 1849, 1854, and 1883 affected the library, with the 1849 incident destroying 22,000 volumes from the collection.
