Description
The Library of Parliament is one of the country's great intellectual resources. For many years it was Canada's National Library. Since the mid 1960s it has been a centre of information and research dedicated to providing Members of Parliament with the tools they need to perform their duties. Despite its importance to the public life of Canada little has been written about the history of the institution or the individuals who lead it. This article looks at the life of Felix Desrochers who served as General Librarian from 1933-1956. For many years the Library of Parliament had a system of dual Librarians or "duelling Librarians" depending upon how one viewed this structure. As shown in the accompanying table there was always an English and a French Librarian. One was the Parliamentary Librarian, the other the General Librarian.
