The site is based on the purchase of the original genealogical
assets of Institut Drouin and scanning of their collection.
But some databases were made separately. Main tools :

Presentation below focus on older records.
Fichier Lafrance :
An index to catholic (and some protestant) records of Quebec.
The catholic records include baptisms and burials 1621-1849
and marriages to 1915, nearly all linked to images. I think
the protestant marriages are indexed and linked to images
up to 1849. It seems some protestant baptisms or burials are
also indexed.
Indexing of 1850-1861 is in progress.
Indexing is supervised by PRDH so more or less the same
content but the search tool is different. I think the site
has unlimited search but limited number of images download
while the PRDH site has limited search (you purchase clicks)
and no image. Both sites are linked (there is a link from
Fichier Lafrance to the PRDH database, subcription required).
Vital records
Search toosl -> Drouin Collection records
Most entries are the series made in 1940-41 with catholic and
protestant records.
All microfilms by place and parish from the original Drouin
collection. Usually the church copy for early years, and the
court house copy for later years. Court house copy only for
protestant.
The 1621-1876 entry is the LDS series, microfilmed in 1976.
Blue Drouin and similar stuff.
