The Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (Quebec Archives) in downtown Montreal
BAnQ is Collecting our eBooks
The Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec is collecting our ebooks, our web site, and our video channel. The first four English titles, plus a French scan, have been archived and catalogued. Here’s what they look like online at the Quebec Archives:
Communism Installed Here, Adrien Arcand (1966) BAnQ Read and Download
What is a French-Canadian? Adrien Arcand (1963) BAnQ Read and Download
A Short Study of the Life of Adrien Arcand, NUPC (circa 1983) BAnQ Read and Download
Adrien Arcand Books has been catalogued by the Quebec Archives.
The first five titles are up. Most are PDFs, one is mobile. Hopefully, all versions will be catalogued soon. December 16th, 2018.
The purple icons indicate the title is digital, and available online for download. For each title collected, the BANQ permanently stores the PDF and two mobile versions. The first titles archived are the following:
1. A Short Study of the Life of Adrien Arcand
2. What is a French-Canadian?
3. A bas la haine!
4. The Revolt of Materialism: a talk given at Montreal in 1966
5. Communism Installed Here: a talk given at Montreal in 1966
And, to my glad surprise, the BANQ also collected my complete facsimile scan of Arcand’s 1965 French hard-cover book, A bas la haine!.
The English-speaking world can now read Adrien Arcand. The leftists no longer have a monopoly on conveying Arcand’s alleged opinions. He can speak for himself!

A signable pdf form on Quebec government letterhead for the “Bibliothèque et Archives nationales” was attached to the email. The title of the form in bold white letters on a black band was “Licence accordée à Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec – Publications numériques gratuites et sites Web” (License granted to the BANQ – Free digital publications and Web sites).

All three radial buttons in the form were already permanently checked by the BANQ. I signed the authorization on 20 September 2018; submitted it by email on September 24th, 2018 at around 7:04 PM. It was countersigned by the BANQ official in charge on 2018.09.25 15:16:30 -04’00’ and returned to me by email, on Wednesday, October 1st, 2018. In another email, also on October 1st, the BANQ provided me with the permanent URLs to the first five documents collected.
The BANQ is now formally and officially collecting, archiving and redistributing this web site, Down With Hate! (linked to the domain name AdrienArcandBooks.com); the Bitchute video channel (linked to the domain name AdrienArcand.com), and all the Free Editions produced by Adrien Arcand Books.
As a result, Down With Hate!, featuring the works of Adrien Arcand in English, is now a Quebec Heritage web site.

Let me toot my own horn a bit. I was trying to sign the PDF form with software designed to add an electronic signature to signable PDFs, and it was taking me a few days. The delay prompted the following encouragement from the BAnQ on September 24th, 2018, at 12:14 PM:

Veuillez noter que le programme de collecte de sites web est sélectif. Toutes les propositions doivent être acceptées par le comité de sélection des sites web qui applique les règles mentionnées à cette adresse : … |
