ARCHIVES ET BIBLIOTHÈQUE DÉPARTEMENTALES
Go there and contact
In Marseille's Arenc district, the departmental archives offer you the chance to consult unique historical documents.
The building that houses the archives is both functional and environmentally friendly. Thus its vast courtyard and the enclosed public garden. On 7 levels, 70 kilometres of shelving carry endless linear pieces of books and documents. The departmental archives, where the essential memory of the territory is found, doubles from a lending service. The reading room, designed for on-site consultation, makes it possible to query databases, consult the digitized archives. Thanks to the interactive terminals that are needed today, we can and must book online documents. The fund, formed in part from the old municipal archives until 1790, dates back to medieval times and enters the digital age. Also searchable, the archives of 66 communes of Bouches-du-Rhône, notaries, the civil status, hospital and private archives. Regularly, thematic exhibitions are organized as well as eco-citizens forums.
