Les deux plus récentes expositions temporaires produites par le CHM, à savoir Quartiers disparus et Scandale ! Vice, crime et moralité à Montréal, 1940-1960 ont été des occasions de collecter, de présenter, d’utiliser, de mettre en valeur et d’ajouter aux sources documentaires classiques des expositions, la source orale. L’objectif était de placer au premier plan les témoins des évènements et leurs récits, en les mettant en dialogue avec les sources écrites et les propos de spécialistes. Ces projets ont permis au CHM de développer une approche muséale de l’histoire orale.

The administrative inadequacies of the institutional justice of that era, its insufficient means of intervention, invite caution, but the existence of infra-judicial mechanisms for dealing with crime lead to the conclusion that only a fraction of the crimes ever came before the courts. Our research on trials for assault and battery heard in the jurisdiction of Montreal between 1700 and 1760 revealed several cases establishing the existence in New France, and confirming the observations of Alfred Somanfor France, of practices according to which the institution of proceedings by certain victims was often in order to start a process of negotiation with the aggressor or force him to come to an agreement out of court, which usually put an end to the procedures. Since there is rarely any explicit mention...

This is all the more so in the case of the police corps of Quebec, the only valid monograph on the subject being one on the Montreal police. This article gives a general outline of the administrative history of the provincial police of Quebec, the “Sûreté du Québec”, since its creation in 1870 by the provincial government. The idea of creating a police force under State control was not new, going back to the first «modern» police established in 1838 in Quebec city and Montreal during a time of rebellion, by an Order in Council of governor Durham. An unsuccessful attempt was made to establish one during the 1850s. It was in 1870 that the «provincial police» were set up in Quebec City, the capital, mainly to have a force to intervene in riots and strikes. Municipalities requiring them could also obtain their services. This police corps was reduced after 1878 to become a mere guard of the Parliament which als...
