Acknowledgments
It is indispensable to thank the cooperation of the Marguerite-Bourgeoys Museum team and the staff of the Communications Department of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame that the General Archives is able to present an exhibit for the benefit of the Congregation and the general public.
This project was made possible by Online Culture Program - Canadian Heritage, Library and Archives Canada and Canadian Council of Archives. We offer them our most sincere thanks.
Since the online exhibit was launched in French and English in 2011, more content and archival records have been added. The Spanish version of the exhibit was launched in 2012, and the Japanese one in 2015. In 2018, the website was upgraded and improved. The virtual exhibition includes an interactive map for locating hundreds of schools established and directed by the sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame.
We wish to underline the unfailing support of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame Leadership Team who allowed their archivists to spare no effort in this enterprise. We especially wish to thank Sister Andrée Déry, Sister Anne C. Leonard and Sister Danielle Dubois whose encouragement and support were essential to the steady progress of this project.
We hope that the Sisters of the Congregation will view this exhibit as a true reflection of their immeasurable contribution to society and that the public will find in it a source of easily accessible information on the exceptional service of Marguerite Bourgeoys and her companions.
