Reproduction Services

Photocopies are not made in the consultation room. To make a request, please fill in the appropriate form: Receive a copy of a document - Patrimoines savoie.fr However, you may use your camera without a flash. For more details, please consult article 36 of the internal regulations. You can obtain a copy of all documents in the public archives as long as they are available for consultation. However, this right is limited by three constraints:

  • The archives must be classified and identified.
  • The copy must not endanger the conservation of the original document. In particular, many bound documents (civil status registers and notaries' minutes, tabellion registers) are for the most part too fragile to be copied.
  • Copying entire files is not permitted.
