For the first time in 100 years the Archives de Montréal has moved its records from the vaults from the basement of city hall in Old Montreal, Hôtel de Ville. The move is for three years, expecting to return to the original site in 2022. The move is precipitated by renovations in city hall. More than 11,000 boxes of archival records have been moved, a total of 15,000 will eventually be relocated. Additionally, 11,000 registers will be relocated. The new location is:

5800 rue Saint-Denis
Montreal, Quebec 
H2S 3L5 
(Rosemont Subway)

Researchers can access the archives by appointment. Email: consultation_archives@ville.montreal.qc.ca

The second phase of the move will take place on January 28. 

To read more including about the history of the archives and several fires see:
The article is in French. However, if you use Chrome as your browser it will translate the article. Or use a translation service such as https://translate.google.com/

The website for the Archives Montréal is: http://archivesdemontreal.com/. There is an article about the move on the website. The website is also only in French and the aforementioned translation tools will assist you in reading the website if you are not conversant in French.

Thank you to Gail Dever and her blog  Genealogy à la carte for informing us about the relocation during renovations.

  1. A request.. if you sometimes don't read all those in INTERESTING BLOGS, I would ask you to read this one..
    "Of Pokemon and Dinosaurs and being Edward" written by Janet Few...it's enlightening and beautiful and sad... all at once...
    There are so many Edwards whom we may never know, maybe it's time to do something about that.
    Thank you.
