Hello, everybody!

In recent years, I get a chance to rub Jason Gilles, an archivist, librarian and historian of the sport. In 1995, Gilles published his master's thesis in history under the title of us Emparons sport. This book addresses french Canadians and sport in the nineteenth century. Author of several texts in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, passionate history of sport published in 2005 1895-1968

For a long time, the friend Gilles cherishes the dream up a historical dictionary on the sport in Quebec. In 2007, it brings together a small team to run the project. But the period is extensive and subjects are not lacking. Thus, the drafting committee made up of Gilles Janson, the historian Serge Gaudreau and myself, decided to publish a first book on the great forgotten in our sporting history.

Here in a nutshell the objectives of this publication.
