Images as an integral part of our documentary heritage: posters and prints at Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
When seeking comprehensiveness, any collector encounters the rare and the exceptional. Posters and prints are this article’s main theme; many outstanding recent additions of these documents have been made to the Quebec Heritage Collection at Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec since 1992, when new areas of development were added. Various acquisition modes and strategies are described, illustrating original ways to apply legal deposit and documenting varied sources for purchase and donation within each family of publications. Forays made by visual artists into poster production are also outlined. In conclusion, the authors evoke concerns about how to cope with disparate, distant and diversely managed iconographic documents and the strategic value of acquisition data.
