If you own anything, such as documents, certificates, or photos, that may interest the St. Andrew’s Society of Montreal, historian and genealogist Gillian Leitch, who is responsible for the organization’s archives, would like to hear from you at info@standrews.qc.ca.
In her blog post, Archives as Miracles, 2018, Dr. Leitch writes, “I dream of moments when someone goes through the garage, files, attic or whatever of a family member and finds a piece of the society’s past and offers it to us.”
Founded in 1835 by influential Scottish men in Montreal, the non-profit society was established with the stated aims of “regulating charity in a systematic manner” and “to advance the cause and welfare of Scotsmen and their descendants.”
