About
For over 200 years, the Paris Archives have collected, classified, inventoried, preserved, shared, and showcased documents of historical interest produced by the services of the City of Paris, as well as by various State services and jurisdictions established in the Seine territory, and later in Paris.
The collections held at the Paris Archives can be a valuable source for researchers, both historically and iconographically.
As part of the Paris under the magnifying glass festival, the Archives offer young researchers a guided tour to discover the behind-the-scenes of the institution, its missions, and its treasures, on Saturday, October 3, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
