The inventories after death have many details about houses of our ancestors and inform us about their way of life. The notary describes sometimes the library, if there is one. This one give us a good idea about the readings of our ancestors whom the apothecaries: Literature, Religion, History, Right, Medicine. These readings became some essential tools for their proprietary. The practitioners of health represent one example of this. With two representative areas of mother country and settlement, Low-Normandy (which gave many settlers in 17th century) and Canada, we are going to see the libraries of the practitioners of pharmacy in these two areas. What are the books present? Is the medical European knowledge transmitted between France and New France? Is there an influence of North-American middle?
