This thesis deals with Montreal innkeepers and tavern-keepers in the first half of the 18th century. It begins with an analysis of the strict regulations imposed on such traders by colonial authorities and follows with a description of their social profile. This research then draws attention to the French, mainly military, origins of this group, as well as to the important role played by women in such occupations and their close relationship with the artisan class. Finally, the study of the estate and of the way of life of innkeepers and tavern-keepers suceeds in showing similarities in their domestic environment, commercial practices and relation to property.
