Archivists offer you to follow the path of a document, from its collection to its communication to the reader. The visit is also an opportunity to discover the building of the architect Henri Gaudin.
For more than 200 years, the Archives de Paris has been gathering documents produced by the services of the city of Paris, but also by the various services of the State located on the territory of the Seine, then of Paris.
How do these documents become archives? What happens from their collection to their communication in the reading room? What do we keep, how and why? What secrets are hidden behind the scenes of the Paris Archives? Throughout the weekend, archivists answer these questions during exceptional guided tours in spaces usually closed to the public.
