Excerpt from Index to the Archival Publications of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec: 1824-1924 The Centenary Volume Of 1924 will be the fiftieth publication issued by the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec. But the following Index does not pretend to give complete references to every item in all these fifty volumes; for, being strictly archival, it has to.be doubly selective. First, it selects nothing but authentic archives. In other words, it ignores everything except those publications which contain the direct original evidence on which alone true history can be based. Secondly, it does not give fully itemised references to those archives which have been superseded by better editions else where; for its sole object is to guide students Of history to those publications in which the original evidence can be most easily studied to the greatest advantage. This doubly selective method is designed to make the Index doubly useful to students Of history. In the first place, these students are not bothered by references to anything but archives. In the second, they are frankly told where else they can find a better version of the same archives. A few examples will illustrate the two important points involved.
