Leméac Éditeur was founded in 1957 by Gérard Leméac-Vigneau, son of the bookseller René-Jules Leméac. The company initially directed its efforts toward scientific books, some art books, certain works of general interest, as well as youth books. In 1968, under the impetus of literary director Yves Dubé, the house established its 'Théâtre' collection, which met with immediate success. During the 1970s, several other collections were created, notably in ethnology and social history, which revealed the richness of popular and Amerindian cultures. Toward the middle of the 1970s, the 'Roman' collection was enriched with the arrival of new writers. From 1989, Leméac began a collaboration with the French house Actes Sud to ensure wider distribution of works by Quebec and Canadian authors. Since the beginning of the 2000s, particular attention has been given to the translation of Canadian-English literature.

French-language publisher specialized in literature (novel, theatre, essay).
