Archives départementales de l'Aude Marcel Rainaud

The Marcel Rainaud Departmental Archives of the Aude have the mission of making the documents and data they preserve accessible to all and of facilitating their re-use. To do this, they : -collect the public archives (all the public bodies established in the Aude, notaries' minutes and repertoires, archives of some of the communes received in deposit) or private archives (by donation, deposit or purchase) which constitute the historical memory of the Department; -preserve them in the best possible conditions -classify them for research purposes; -facilitate free access to them for all those who wish to consult them on site or, if necessary, online. They are also in charge of controlling the conditions of conservation, processing and communication of the archives of local authorities, decentralised State services and public establishments located in the department. Finally, they can organise various types of activities aimed at a wide range of audiences, with a view to raising awareness of their resources and encouraging their re-use.
