Archivists propose 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 Paris Archives has been collecting documents produced by the services of the city of Paris, but also by the various government departments located on the territory of the Seine and then Paris.
How do these documents become archives? What happens from their collection to their communication in the reading room? What is kept, how and why? What are the secrets behind the Archives de Paris? Throughout the weekend, archivists answer these questions during exceptional guided tours in spaces that are usually closed to the public.
