The documents of the collection were produced by four generations of Livernois during the 120 years of existence of the studio: Jules-Isaïe Benoît dit Livernois (1830-1865) and his wife Élise L'Heureux-Livernois (1827-1896), their oldest son Jules-Ernest (1851-1933), Jules (1877-1952) from the first marriage of Jules-Ernest and finally, various operators under the direction of Victor (1911-) and Maurice (1920-) until the closure of the workshops in 1974. In 1900, Jules-Ernest handed the studio of photography to his son Jules to concentrate on the sole management of the commerce. He, considered "the official photographer of the capital", directs, from 1933, a workshop where several artists work in the studio as well as outside. Beginning in 1954, two years after the death of Jules and a hundred years after the opening of the studio, it is the decline. In January 1979, a bankruptcy put an end to the photographic history of the Livernois. The Livernois archives holding is considered to be one of the most important in Canada.
