What the story of the Augustinian Sisters reveals<\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Since their arrival in Qu\u00e9bec City on August 1, 1639, the Augustinians have carefully preserved objects and writings of great historical value today. The institutional memory of these hospital pioneers is a window into aspects that impacted the evolution of our society as a whole. These include healthcare (medical and pharmaceutical), agriculture, commerce, crafts, traditional skills, land ownership and the evolution of life as a religious community within the Catholic Church of Canada. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Since 2015, in accordance with the wishes of the Augustinians\u2019 a rich legacy spanning nearly 400 years of history is now accessible to today’s population and preserved for future generations. Thanks to the vision of these innovative women, this living heritage is available to the public and researchers through our museum\u2019s reserve and Archive Centre. Visitors can come into contact with some of the objects bequeathed by the Augustinian Sisters by visiting Le Monast\u00e8re and its museum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
