ARCHIVES DÉPARTEMENTALES DE LA SARTHE
Go there and contact
The new premises are ideal for temporary exhibitions. The location lends itself perfectly to this purpose. The Archives de la Sarthe date back to the French Revolution. They were originally set up (1796-1797) by bringing together in Le Mans - the department's capital - the archives of Ancien Régime administrations abolished during the Revolution, ecclesiastical establishments and emigrant families. Over the years, these archives have grown steadily to include archives from the Revolutionary period, then files from public administrations based in the département, as well as deposits, private donations and acquisitions. The exhibitions (also on display at other institutions) change regularly and are aimed at a wide audience. Instructive, they are ideal for schoolchildren as part of their history and civics lessons. The archives also have documents and ideas for educational activities. Teachers, don't hesitate! A number of exhibitions have been held recently, including Winter: monuments, famous people, trades and the Sarthe in the First World War... Discover a new publication every week
