The Morrin Centre showcases the contribution of English-speakers to the culture and heritage of Quebec City. This center is an historical complex located at 10-min walking distance from the Congress Center, through Kent Gate and Dauphine Street.

It is now built on the site of the French Royal Redoubt (1712-1808) part of the Quebec defensive works and use as military barracks that became house prisoners of war during raids on New England towns by the French. The building was then used as the Quebec City Common Gaol (1813-1867). In 1867, prisoners were transferred to a new gaol on the Plains of Abraham and the building was converted to the Morrin College (1862-1902). Morrin College was the city's first English-language institute of higher education. The school was founded on the initiative of Scotsman Dr. Joseph Morrin, former mayor and prominent Quebec City physician. Through affiliation with McGill University, General Arts degrees were offered. Founded by the Earl of Dalhousie in 1824, the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec was the first learned society in the country. After several moves and two fires, the Society settled into the northern wing (one of the two libraries) of Morrin College in 1868 to present. We will be meeting in the southern wing.
