They receive deposits from municipalities with fewer than 2000 inhabitants. They carry out an important action of collecting private archives which can enter by gift, legacy, deposit or purchase.\r\n\r\nClassification is a fundamental mission of the archive services. It consists of putting archive documents in intellectual and physical order. After classification, the documents are described and finding aids are written to enable readers to access the contents of the collections.\r\n\r\nArchive buildings are designed to ensure the physical preservation of documents in the best possible conditions in order to protect their integrity and allow their communication. Archival documents are fragile and must be protected against multiple degradations caused by\r\n-variations in temperature and humidity\r\n-too much handling\r\n-exposure to light\r\n-dust,\r\n-insects and rodents...\r\nPreventive measures are taken to avoid fire, flooding, theft...\r\n\r\nMaking archives accessible to the public is the raison d'être of the departmental archives. Communication is the result of the three previous missions and can take different forms\r\n-consultation in the reading room, where scientific researchers, genealogists, local history enthusiasts or citizens looking for a right can consult the documents\r\n-exhibitions, publications or conferences,\r\n-educational service for young people.\r\nCommunication also concerns the producing services which need to consult the files they have deposited.\r\n\r\nThe Departmental Archives have a training mission with regard to producing services, municipalities, public establishments. They assist them in managing current archives and in depositing definitive archives. This support may take the form of advice, training or on-site interventions."@eng . _:Bf02eb5315104fab4fb372c4667ed6b74 . _:B948e6afd81249c05897b05cdbe64466e "Archives départementales de l'Ariège" . _:B948e6afd81249c05897b05cdbe64466e . _:B37850c9a51b6e9d2c2e945024b6c3944 "Departmental Archives of Ariège" . _:B37850c9a51b6e9d2c2e945024b6c3944 . .

"Archives départementales de l'Ariège" . "The history of the Ariège archives dramatically illustrates the fact that they are recognised as the foundation of power and society. The law of 5 Brumaire An V had ordered the gathering of all the titles and papers belonging to the Republic, that is to say those of the old and new administrations and those seized from the Church and the emigrants, at the county seat. This regrouping was done in Foix in the abbey Saint-Volusien, seat of the central administration then of the prefecture. Almost everything that had been gathered there disappeared one night in October 1803 in a fire that was certainly set to prevent conscription. The central collection of parish and civil registers was the first target, and with it the charters of the Château de Foix and the papers of the revolutionary administrations.\r\n\r\nFrom 1845 onwards, the Departmental Archives became a real service with an archivist-paleographer at its head from 1872. Expansion, reintegration of dispersed collections, creation of a library, and setting up a public reception area were the long and patient work of several generations. Special mention must be made of Félix Pasquier (1874-1895) who made this service a centre for conservation, research, publication and dissemination in all areas of Ariège civilisation, from medieval history to the works of the Félibrige movement, from archaeology to the organisation of the Foix festival..."@eng .
