Douglas Brymner (July 3, 1823 – June 19, 1902) was a Canadian politician, journalist, civil servant and archivist.
Born in Greenock, Scotland, Brymner immigrated to Canada in 1857 with his wife and son settling in Melbourne, Lower Canada. He served two terms as mayor of Melbourne before moving to Montreal in 1864 where he became editor of the ''Presbyterian'' and joined the editorial staff of the ''Montreal Herald''. In 1872, he moved to Ottawa where he worked as Senior Second Class Clerk in charge of archives for the Department of Agriculture. In 1872, he was appointed the first Dominion Archivist, a position he held until his death in 1902.〔 In 1895, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.〔
==Creation of Canadian Archives and Appointment of Brymner, 1872==
After Canadian Confederation in 1867, there was a major push led by the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec for a national archive; it was a deemed as necessary for the Canadian government to create an archive because of the relationship between archives, history, national consciousness and national unity. A petition had been signed by more than fifty leading authors and scholars that urged parliament to create a repository of historical archives where archives could be collected, maintained, arranged and accessible to scholars for reference.〔Ian E. Wilson, “A Noble Dream: The Origins of the Public Archives of Canada,” ''Archivaria'', 15 (Winter, 1982-83): 17-18〕 The petition was strongly endorsed by the Canadian Library Committee and was transfer to the Minister of Agriculture who at the time was responsible for arts and manufactures.〔Ian E. Wilson, “A Noble Dream: The Origins of the Public Archives of Canada,” Archivaria, 15 (Winter, 1982-83): 18〕 The petition was then put into action and in 1872 Canadian Parliament voted a sum of $4000〔Smith, Wilfred, “’Total Archives’: The Canadian Experience,” Canadian Archival Studies and the Rediscovery of Provenance. Ed. Tom Nesmith. New Jersey: Scarecrow Press, 1993. 136. Print〕 to the creation. Parliament appointed Douglas Brymner, then a noted journalist, as Senior Second Class Clerk and was responsible to oversee and create a national records repository and undertake general archival responsibilities.
