This article takes a look at the community of game collectors in Quebec, first by exploring how ludovideophily compares itself from classic collecting. We then isolate Quebec video game collection to identify how the community navigates through a world that is even more open and that interacts mostly in English. Do specifically Quebec centric attributes exist ? An incursion inside this group will highlight our reflection and help confirm if these collectors meld themselves in the bigger group or if they stick their head high enough to differentiate from the international communities.

The conventional description and explanation of industrial location in the nineteenth century emphasizes the concentration of production in the city core. In contrast this paper finds that for mid-nineteenth century Montreal a significant number of firms were locating on the urban fringe. In a case study of Saint-Ann ward between 1851 and 1871, it is shown that the Lachine canal was a powerful magnet attracting large-scale, technologically-advance industries. Other factors accounting for the development of this peripheral industrial district were cyclical change, new technologies, large capital investments, inter-industry linkages, and changes in the organizational structure of firms.
