For more than two hundred years, the Paris Archives has collected, inventoried, preserved, communicated and highlighted documents of historical interest, concerning Paris or the former Seine department, whether they were produced by the prefecture, by the services of the City of Paris, by the decentralized services of the State or by institutions with a public service mission. Since 1990, the Paris Archives has been housed in a building specially built by the architectural firm Henri and Bruno Gaudin. It consists of 27 original document storage stores mainly related to the history of the capital, the population and the Parisian urbanism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It also has a reading room of 60 places for the consultation of the originals and 33 places for the consultation of the microfilmed and digitized archives.
