BAnQ : Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec

The mission of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec is to gather, permanently preserve and promote Quebec's published heritage materials, any Quebec-related material of cultural interest, and any Quebec-related material published outside Quebec. It aims to provide democratic access to the heritage material constituted by its collections, to culture and universal knowledge, and to act, in this respect, as a catalyst for the library and information institutions of Quebec, thus contributing to the fulfillment of its citizens. 

The Grande Bibliothèque is the flagship library facility of the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec.
