Montreal's archives celebrates 100th birthday “The future historians of Canada will find the Archives indispensable
and will draw there from records of nation building which will inspire
the builders of the Greater Canada yet to be.” How true was the Montreal
Star editorialist when he wrote those words in the now-defunct
newspaper in December 1907. That same viewpoint went on to praise the
dedication and determination of one Dr. Sir Arthur George Doughty, known
at the time as the Dominion archivist of the government of Canada.
