The reading room is open from Monday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. without interruption. Documents may be requested from 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. without interruption (the last document is delivered at 4:30 p.m.). The annual closure takes place during the first two weeks of August (contact us for the exact dates). Please check the homepage of the website for the dates of exceptional closures.
Conditions of Access
Readers are first welcomed by an Archives employee who carries out the administrative registration. This registration is then completed, for the scientific part, in the reading room by the room supervisor. A valid official identity document is required to establish your reader's card, which is valid for one year, starting on your first visit.
Research Services
The staff of the Archives can, on a given subject, provide information on existing archival resources and finding aids. However, they are not obliged to carry out research on behalf of the interested parties.
