Seminary of Nicolet :

Founded in 1803, the Seminary of Nicolet owes its origin to a free parish school started two years previously by Louis-Marie Brassard, then the parish priest of Nicolet.
The seminary received its Royal Charter on December 10, 1821. Over 11, 240 students received a classical education there, until its transformation into the Quebec Police Institute in 1969.

The Corporation of the Seminary of Nicolet continued, however, its educational work by opening to the public its archives and library in the renovated building of the Grand Seminary, and, since the beginning of 1991, in the building of the Museum of Religions.

On August 20, 1991, the Archives received a certificate of approval from the Ministry of Culture; official recognition of the service of the Seminary’s private archives.

Rich with over 412 holdings and collections, comprising about 509 linear meters of manuscripts, dating back as far as 1658, the Archives conserves as well 2,560 maps and plans, and 82,300 photographs.

Facing the necessity of moving these large Archives into a smaller space, the Committee of the Seminary of Nicolet has made the difficult decision to part with certain of its coins, banknotes, tokens and medals.

We at MTM International wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the Committee of the Seminary of Nicolet for their confidence in consigning their treasures for this auction sale.


Séminaire de Nicolet :

Fondé en 1803, le Séminaire de Nicolet doit son origine à une école paroissiale gratuite créée deux ans auparavant par Louis-Marie Brassard alors curé de Nicolet.
Le séminaire reçoit ses lettres patentes royales le 10 décembre 1821 et plus de 11 240 élèves y poursuivront leur cours classique jusqu’à sa transformation en l’Institut de police du Québec en 1969.

La corporation du Séminaire de Nicolet continuera néanmoins son oeuvre d’éducation en ouvrant au public ses archives et sa bibliothèque dans des locaux aménagés au Grand Séminaire, puis depuis début 1991, dans l’édifice du Musée des religions. Le 20 août 1991, les Archives reçoivent un certificat d’agrément du Ministère de la Culture : reconnaissance officielle du service d’archives privées du Séminaire.

Riches de plus de 412 fonds et collections totalisant environ 509 mètres linéaires d’archives manuscrites dont la date extrême remonte à l’année 1658, les Archives du Séminaire conservent aussi 2 560 cartes et plans et 82 300 photographies. Devant l’obligation de déménager ses larges archives dans des locaux plus petits, le comité du Séminaire de Nicolet a fait le choix difficile de se séparer de certaines pièces de sa collection de monnaies, billets de banque, jetons et médailles.

MTM International remercie chaleureusement le comité du Séminaire de Nicolet de les avoir choisis pour la consignation de leurs trésors dans le cadre de cette ventes aux enchères.
