From Renaissance collections to nineteenth-century print exhibitions, the "museumification" of literature calls for a redefinition of the traditional relationship between literature and books. Based on a sample of literary exhibitions in museums, this article examines the issues they bring to the fore on a period that extends from the end of the nineteenth century to today. It adopts a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the theoretical and practical underpinnings of the concomitant museumification of literature and books by observing the tensions that it creates on an institutional scale, both between libraries and museums and within certain literary paradigms (genres, "classics," etc.). This article thus explores the motivations that might explain the seemingly central place of the book in the literary exhibition as opposed to a multitude of objects a priori more spectacular. In this sense, the hyper-materiality of literature and its dissociation from the book (on which the very existence of the literary museum is paradoxically based) is the focus of detailed analysis here. The literary exhibition relies on the contextualization of the literary text and, especially in a time of emphasis on digital text, on its place in the history of the book. Museumification today tends to attribute additional value to literature that is on other platforms than paper as a way of adding a spectacular aspect to the exhibition. In this perspective, the contemporary "dematerialization" of the book poses an ultimate question - a question concerning digital literary collections and the use of digital platforms in the added value of literature. By facilitating and broadening the access to heritage, virtual exhibits (one example of the digital platform) offer the double advantage of protecting fragile collections and making their value more durable. They run the risk, however, of neutralizing the "aura" of paper books and the quest for tangible objects, which constitute the main reason for our society's attachment to paper books and the foundation of museums.

This paper examines the research formula of L'œil à la page, a survey conducted in 1979 by the Groupe Interuniversitaire de Documentation et d'Enquêtes Sociologiques (GIDES). The aim of the survey was to study the implementation of audiovisual material in eight municipal libraries, and it gave rise to several reports (book, report, articles). Both a commissioned survey and pedagogical research, it was also for Jean-Claude Passeron, its scientific director, the opportunity to test empirically Le Métier de sociologue and to prepare the writing of (Les) mots de la sociologie. As such, it can be considered as one of the empirical bases of the Le raisonnement sociologique. For this reason, this survey is caught between two theoretical boundaries: the one constituted by Le Métier de sociologue, which is its conceptual matrix, and, on the other hand, Le raisonnement sociologique, considered since its publication as a major contribution to the reflection on the epistemology of social sciences. Thanks to this description, which is based on the book, the report and the archives of the survey, this paper highlight a style of scientific thought and grasp the articulation of the Métier de Sociologue with the Raisonnement sociologique, in order to better understand the epistemology presented in those two books.

Finally, in 2024, a unique tool for consulting the Calamandrei archives sees the light of day, thanks to the digitization of the fonds held at institutions and foundations located in Florence, Rome, Trento and Montepulciano. For the time being, the correspondences, but the project Kaleodoscope of papers, launched in 2009, continues on the entire documentary heritage, allowing valuable cross-fertilization to scholars and full accessibility to the public.

The Ministry of Justice’s collections of public prosecution, from the first criminal registers established as early as the creation of the ministry in 1791 until the virtual disappearance of paper documents in 2016 under the influence of digitisation, are of a major heritage interest for the history of crime and more broadly for the political, economic and social history of contemporary France. For more than two centuries, the files composing the collections have reported the public prosecution for the enforcement of sentences, this judicial process which leads, throughout the national territory, to sanction criminally an offender. This process produces documents (mainly notes and reports), submitted by the Prosecutor’s Offices to Chief public Prosecutors, before they are centralised by the “direction des Affaires criminelles et des Grâces”, the Directorate for Criminal Affairs and Pardons (DACG). The departmental (an II-1816), chronological (1814-1955), methodical (1890-1955) and current series (1956-1994), all kept in the National Archives (AN), constitute, with the associated registers of the subseries BB/29, a source of over 10,000 articles and of nearly two linear kilometres. To these largely unexplored sources of a nation under construction, that then underwent two world wars and their consequences, were added dozens of thousands records of public prosecution for the period 1995-2014 (1,2 kml) managed by the department of archives, documentation and heritage (DADP) of the Ministry of Justice. These records are evidence of a strong growth of financial crime, while in the paper and digital sets which are still kept place Vendôme (2015-2021), cases linked to offences of a terrorist nature are beginning to emerge. At both ends of these archival fonds, two media linked by the same object, public prosecution, look at each other, fragile: the just born old criminal register of the ministry and the digital native document whose sustainability challenge is becoming an essential issue for the operation of justice and the build-up of its archival heritage.

This paper presents an exploratory reflection on the question of individual experience by patients in psychiatric institutions, in its historical dimension. Are such experiences comprehensible through an analysis of the archives originating in the hospital? This reflection forms part of a study concerning the circumstances in which women were placed in psychiatric institutions, in Belgium during interwar period (1918-1940); its ultimate objective is to come to an understanding of the social, individual and familial situations that lead to a decision to intern a woman in a closed psychiatric institution. Here, the concept of experience is used to ascertain whether a different understanding of psychiatry is viable, that is to say, to understand it as a personal life-story and as a social fact. Could we, by dint of the psychiatric archives produced by medical institutions, go beyond institutional and medical issues, so as to understand how those placed in a psychiatric institution lived through their mental illness? The objective of this article is also to prepare several methodological markers with respect to issues of interpretation, of individual experience and of emotion. This article is not so much a summing-up of the results of research conducted in psychiatric archives, but rather a deliberation on the historian's approach and appropriate course of action on the question of first-hand experience in psychiatry.

This paper presents the way we try to track the history of mental health services offered to residents of official language minority communities throughout Northern and Eastern Ontario. The study also holds an interest in the post-deinstitutionalization paths of patients suffering from mental health conditions. Our research strand concerns Northern Ontario, its patient associations, its services, its specialists and its institutions and the access to hospitals archives.

This paper examines the history of Alfred Binet's Archives. It precises the formation of its different collections. It shows and studies the dispersal which often qualifies psychiatric archives and enlightens the difficulties of the historical work relative to this kind of source.

Abstracting the main content of a recent report on the bad state of the archives of scientific research, this paper puts forward eleven thesis likely to feed, in this time of numeric transition to a new documentary regime and to a new patrimonial policy. The recent numeric conditions impose to set new archival pratices, more proactive, anticipative and prospective. Archives of scientific research must be thought in a double memorial and scientific dimension, and not only as a patrimonial or historical one.

This paper compares the topic of exile found in Saint-John Perse and Yvan Goll's peotry in the catholic journal La Nouvelle Relève (1941-1948). Pulled from the archives and communications of three French-Canadian mediators (Simone Aubry-Beaulieu, Paul Beaulieu and Louis-Marcel Raymond), it explains the exchanges of these poems within a network of francophone journals in the Americas. The author puts these cultural trades in a new international perspective brought forward by the uncertainty of the Second World War and suggests that they are timed with the emergence french-speaking literature in communities around the world.

The article discusses the development and function of colonial archives during the eighteenth century in France. The Secretary of State for the Navy created a Paper Office in 1699 whose function was to collect papers from the Colonial Office in order for the government of metropolitan France to maintain records of its overseas territories. Throughout the 1700s, these archives evolved to provide records not only of the overseas territories, but of colonial administrators, and later, a Colonial Papers Office was opened to provide official copies of vital records. In 1776 these records were transferred to a Public Colonial Papers Office in Versailles.

The Academy acquired the Menuhin material in March 2004, and cataloguing began in January 2005. The archive consists of personal papers, correspondence, concert programmes, manuscripts, printed music and books, photographs, drawings, paintings, prints and objets d'art. Menuhin had a habit of collecting, this appears to have been a family trait, as his father collected press cuttings about Menuhin from his first concert at the age of 8 onwards. This paper concentrates on the method used by the librarians to organise and catalogue the materials and sets the collection in the context of the other Special Collections at the Academy.

ABSTRACT: This paper, founded on the premises of a postcolonial approach, sets out to question the fictionalisation of Laghouat genocide through the reinvestment and textualisation of archives and their simulation in the plot of Lazhari Labter's novel released in 2018: Laghouat. La ville assassinée ou le point de vue de Fromentin. The analysis of the corpus selected for investigation confirmed that the genocide revisited through the reinvestment of archives attests to memory work which appears to be a restorative process from a personal point of view ; useful for posterity. Subsequently, it is a process through which the figure of the writer emerges, whose role is now fully assumed. RÉSUMÉ : Cet article, basé sur une approche postcoloniale, se propose d’interroger la mise en fiction du génocide de Laghouat à travers le réinvestissement et la mise en texte des archives et leur simulation dans l’intrigue du roman de Lazhari Labter publié en 2018 : Laghouat. La ville assassinée ou le point de vue de Fromentin. L’analyse de ce corpus confirme que le génocide revisité à travers le réinvestissement des archives atteste d’un travail de mémoire comme processus réparateur d’un point de vue personnel et utile pour la postérité. Une démarche à travers laquelle émerge la figure de l’écrivain dont le rôle est désormais pleinement assumé.

This document is a part of the heritage of the public library of Clermont-Ferrand. It has been realized in 1656 by Germain Perdrix, official printer of the King, as a copy of the original printed in Paris. This document gathers some papers written during the lives of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV. The most important paper (published on January 20, 1637) specifies the conditions of admission to be Master in Apothecary as well as the rules of this profession.

The aim of this paper is to present archival discoveries made, among others, by the author in the Archives of the Metropolitan Curia in Cracow. The discoveries concern the manuscript of Karol Wojtyła, and are connected to his work on the postdoctoral thesis. This discovery was also presented in the context of its possible influence on the study of Wojtyła’s philosophy, based on Etienne Gilson’s conception of the method of studying the history of philosophy (the necessity of considering the whole of thought in the context of its individual elements, the context of impersonal necessity, etc.).

The French national archive service, at its Pierrefitte-sur-Seine site, holds about thirty collections left by architects, including Baltard, Labrouste, Laprade, Pouillon, Laurenti, Chemetov and Destailleur. The papers of Hippolyte Destailleur (1822-1893) and his son Walter Destailleur (1867-1940) are kept under the reference CP/536AP and are comprised essentially of architectural drawings covering the years 1854 to 1937. The examination and comparison of these drawings offer the possibility of understanding something of the criteria of hygiene and comfort deemed appropriate for the upper class in Europe. In particular, it is possible to look at bedrooms, bathrooms and lavatories and to analyse these in terms of their architecture (number of rooms, surface, position) and in social terms (separation between owners and servants). This analysis is followed by a closer examination of some representative examples, the private town houses of the Masurels, at Roubaix, the Trévarez château, the Crillon hotel and the Farnborough Hill house, in England.

In this paper we present the Myriam Noemí Tarragó Archive that has been preserved in the Archivo de Investigadores of the Instituto de las Culturas since 2019. Myriam Tarragó is a prominent archaeologist from Argentina with a prolific career that began towards the end of the 1950s and covered mainly the study of the past in the southern Andes, fundamentally the Argentine Northwest, North of Chile and she has also left her mark on Ecuadorian archaeology. We point out some necessary aspects to address when dealing with archival documentation and, in combination with the reconstruction of the producer's biography, we provide a general description of the archive. In addition, we offer a series of elements to be considered at the time of consultation in order to maximize the available data in the archive, with the ultimate goal of disseminating and making this valuable and extensive archive available to researchers and other interested parties. We also intend to discuss the relationship between the instruments offered by archival science and the users who use Archives as a source for their research, reflecting on the need for interdisciplinarity to improve the access to the documents.

This paper examines the infrastructure of digital libraries and teases out the subtle ways their formation and construction is a digital extension and representation of the social, political, and institutional circumstances by which they are created. Building off lessons learned from UCLA Library Special Collections as a case study site, this paper proposes a classification of digital emergence that provides more transparency about how digital surrogates come to exist in digital libraries and how we can use this information to better contextualize the importance of these surrogates within academic library services. The discussion then situates digital libraries as medial interfacing infrastructures that are fundamentally non-neutral social apparatuses that disappear in the course of daily use. Marcuse’s notion of technological rationality is incorporated to illustrate the extent to which technological infrastructures influence and reformulate the way we understand the research process using special collections and archives, and how these infrastructures can function as a mechanism for information control. Finally, Bowker and Star’s text, Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its Consequences, briefly illustrates how librarians can contextualize the emergence of digital objects, and how this context, and the concomitant technological biases, can be methodologically brought to light using infrastructural inversion.

In this paper we will take a close look at the production of the city's accounting registers, highlighting those intended to be archived and their specific characteristics. Then, through the study of the city's statutes, we will show the characteristics of the city's storage sites and their evolution from the end of the 13th century to the mid-14th century.

The article gives an account of the methodological discussions that were carried out within the framework of the AMIAF research project, the purpose of which was to identify sources permitting the writing of a legal history of madness in the context of French colonization. The article thus starts by taking a look at the sources undergoing scrutiny, in particular those kept by the colonial archives. The paper then moves on to discuss the implementation of tools which facilitate both the access to and the use of documentary collections by the scientific community, or by anybody interested in the subject, by providing feedback on the construction of the AMIAF digital library.

The mille lectures d'hiver festival and the archives generated by the event provide a privileged field to observe literary emotions, the multiplicity of their forms, their temporalities and their actors, but also the amplitude of their semantic field and the difficulty to seize and describe them. This paper comprises an interview with Michèle Fontaine who headed the project (2006-2022) and an excursion into the archives. It also seeks to provide methodological guidelines for an applied analysis of the archival traces of literary emotions.

For many early modern Europeans, among the novelties of their age was a copia of information, experienced as both abundance and variety. The profusion of books that accompanied the advent of the printing press is widely known, but the period also saw many other unprecedented information flows. With the widespread adoption of paper instruments for recording the day-to-day functioning of government and statecraft, scholarship and science, and commerce and finance, records accumulated in great numbers, individuals and institutions were forced to adopt techniques to manage the information flows. Early modern Europeans of many stripes were forced to become information managers. “Paperwork” thus became a staple of early modern life, and has been with us ever since.
