Marie Tremaine's work on Canadian Bibliography is considered to be an essential landmark in the field.

“Marie Tremaine often says that she is not a historian, and certainly not a scientist! Perhaps not; but through the examination of early Canadian and American imprints she has a knowledge of detail concerning the settlement of North America, that a historian might well envy, and a sense of the living history behind the people of this continent that gives her, as a librarian a creative approach to a community.” — Florence B. Murray, 1949

“Her influence on me has been considerable, her work continues to be of immeasurable help. She set the highest standards in Canadian bibliographical scholarship, standards we must labour to meet and maintain.” — Douglas G. Lochhead, 1984
