Preserving, documenting and sharing our sound heritage



PHONOTHÈQUE QUÉBÉCOISE COLLECTION
INVENTORY OF THE COLLECTIONS AS OF MAY 30, 2005

The Phonothèque québécoise keeps several collections acquired from private individual donations. They mostly consist of sound recordings on records, tape reels and cassettes; historically significant audiovisual documents; publications (books, monographies, reference books and theses) on the subjects of sound and music. The Phonothèque also owns various artifacts coming from private and instutitional donations or from exhibition collections (sound reproduction devices, t-shirts, posters, curiosities).

Database

History, policy and methodology (main inventory of collections)

In the fall of 1994, Jean-Paul Moreau, Réal La Rochelle and Jacqueline Ascah made a brief inventory of the Phonothèque québécoise's collections. Following Jean-Paul Moreau's idea, the reference numbers of the collections and their specific contents have been attributed like so:

First 4 digits: year of inventory of the deposit of the collection at the Phonothèque. For this first inventory, the year 1994 was attributed to all the collections acquired since 1989. A second inventory was done in 1998 and covers the collections acquired between 1994 and 1998.

Next 4 digits: an incrementing number (from 1) attributed to all the items of a collection acquired from the same donor.

Last 4 digits: an incrementing number (from 1) attributed to each item in a collection.

EX.:

1994-0019 = Robert Giroux collection

1994-0019-0001 = item from the Robert Giroux collection, in this case the publication Bulletin des Publications Yé-Yé et de SARMA inc, Rendez-vous 91, 1990

Since the summer of 1998, Christian Lewis is maintaining a main inventory with collection descriptors. Some collections have been treated more exhaustively.
