Quebec regional food research

The subseries are composed primarily of ephemera and research notes collected or created during Julian Armstrong travels in various Quebec regions during research food and foodways. The earliest file is from her 1986 trip to Jonquière for a French language immersion experience, to which she credits her inspiration to travel Quebec regions for research. Files include brochures about and/or published in various regions in Quebec, largely related to agro-tourism and food production; business cards and pamphlets from restaurants, bakeries, and food producers; correspondence with chefs and proprietors, often with recipes attached; clippings; and Armstrong's travel or itinerary notes. Some of the largest files are related to Charlevoix, the Eastern Townships, Lanaudière, and Gaspé.
