This collective work published jointly by the NA and Somogy, and coordinated by Claire Béchu, curator, closing bicentenary of the installation archive in this place that means familiarly by the "quadrilateral" but which originally was not limited to the Hotel de Soubise. It was acquired, not without difficulty, by the state. It took effect evict tenants who were staying there (and that I do not know) since this particular hotel had been placed in receivership in October 1782.
Thus we dislodged, not smooth and vehemence, named Chenavard, inventor of dravanech, a wall covering that he had patented ... a story (page 44).
This is only part of hundreds of stories that I enjoyed a whole afternoon reading this wonderful book all colors, all kinds of plans, illustrations and reproductions of unpublished ... I found the photo of the "house Daunou" (page 81) destroyed in 1935 and mentioned in a previous post.
A plan that does not look (page 71) tells us that in 1815, records were stored near the floor (!) in the courtyard in the middle of Soubise " stables and barracks to house troops [the Prussians].
We know that the court records were not transferred in 1847 from where they were stored, namely the Sainte-Chapelle, one finds, therefore, probably thanks to Mrs. Cecilia Souchon who wrote this section ( page 68), plans to transform the Sainte-Chapelle in stores.
We find on pages 109-113 in the history of the Hotel d'Assy acquired in May 1845 (with a picture of my office!) And beautiful views of the garden and lounge Oppenord.
We recognize the paw anysia Hotellier The anecdote in the columbarium (page 278). There was the ground floor of Napoleon III, a fine piece of furniture more than 9 feet tall (!) Dug thousands of cells used for storing rolls, it was not practical all that today it advocates the preservation of flat maps and plans. So we dismantled the monument now housed in a castle in Indre. This story was the subject of an article in Voices of the inventory ...
And so on every page of documents, mostly unpublished, illustrate the very learned about and sought after. The authors (I do not quote them all ... there are two dozen in all) were pretty darn well documented to make this book, not a book of architecture or art (although many chapters are devoted to buildings ), let alone an art book or an institutional treaty or a treaty of archival (although it learns a lot, thanks to research by Denise Ogilvie on the nature of early payments and fumbling the first frames rankings, etc..) but it is at best a pleasant walk through time and space in the richness and variety of documents and buildings that house them. It is also a compelling narrative on archives, archivists and archival .
Schedules are very valuable (and also some unpublished): a portrait gallery of directors of the Archives of France and NA, a biography of the architects and works inspectors who worked on the site since 1808, a bibliography Silt-rich by F. Bonnet, etc.. One can only regret that the index is making a bit neglected (10 pages only!).
A blow of heart for this work so that any conservative (in its broadest sense) of the archive should possess.
