Le Sherbrooke Library and Art Building, 1887-1927 : un espace et un lieu de rencontre entre les cultures anglophone et francophone
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that during the second half of the nineteenth century, the City of Sherbrooke witnessed the development of cultural institutions for which there were no equivalents in other regions of Quebec at that period. She notes that American immigrants, who first settled in the Eastern Townships city, established many schools, newspapers, libraries, reading rooms and cultural organizations. The British immigrants who followed supported these institutions and further enriched them through their connections with the Mother Country. French Canadians, as they later moved into the area, far from locking themselves within the bounds of their own culture, often joined and supported these established cultural organizations. The author's case study focuses on the rich relationship between the two cultures. She demonstrates how the active participation of French Canadians in organizations created by their fellow English-speaking citizens eventually resulted in the development of a truly French-speaking cultural establishment in a city that previously had been dominated by organizations created by American or British nationals.
