In the summer and

Phonothèque
québécoise archive of major projects carried out between 1989 and

Each project entry now contains a short
description of the activity as well as activity-related documentation including
press releases, magazine articles,
albums and books published with Phonothèque assistance, audiovisual
archives
(photographs, audio and videotapes), transcripts of lectures and
research
papers and administrative documents.
The project archives
are classifed thematically: products; proposals and feasibility
studies;
special events (shows, launches, viewings, lectures ...); broadcasts,

chronologically.
