About Us

To mark the Association’s 75th anniversary, Hebdos Québec undertook publication of an eight-volume collective work on the history of the province’s weekly press. The task was assigned to 25 different authors, each of whom focused on a specific Quebec region, seeking to highlight its unique characteristics. The first volume, published in May 2008, covers the Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Outaouais regions, and the subsequent volumes will be released during 2009. Besides these eight volumes, the authors have written a history of the Association from its founding until the 1980s (the more recent portions will be completed in the future). The following subsections outline the key stages of that history.
