-- The dictionary will include a historical introduction of a twenty pages on the history of sport in Quebec for the period 1850-1950, and will be accompanied by an index.

-- Biographiés will not necessarily Quebecers, but persons having significant activities in Quebec in the field of sport. It might even be people who have never set foot in Quebec, but who through their writings or otherwise have played a certain role in the history of sport here.

-- The dictionary will comprise one hundred biographies, but hockey players will be excluded unless they have participated in other sports.

-- The biographies cover both athletes, administrators, journalists, and so on.

-- As in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, biographies begin with a paragraph where you will find the dates and places of birth and death and those of the main occupations of biographié. Additionally, the names and occupations of the parents (we understand that for the time, it will almost always the father's occupation). The biographies will be followed by major references used in their preparation.

-- The biographies will be illustrated wherever possible.

-- Biographies count 125 to 1250 words (1 / 2 page to 5 pages) at most.
