REPATRIATED ARCHIVES
Archives concerning the following were repatriated:
There are enormous differences in the classification of these archive collections because some territories had a real archiving organisation such as Indochina and Algeria and others had none. The circumstances of decolonisation were also determining factors in what happened to the archives, which on arrival were stored almost anywhere in France, until they reached the building in Aix-en-Provence specially constructed to house them in 1966. Since then a significant classification effort and one of redacting search tools has been accomplished. |
