"Archives départementales des Bouches-du-Rhône" . "archives13@departement13.fr" . . "The Bouches-du-Rhône departmental archives were created, like all similar archives, by the law of 5 Brumaire, Year V, which required the papers of the Ancien Régime institutions, which had just been abolished by the Revolution of 1789, to be collected in the main town of each department.\r\n\r\nWithin the network formed by the departmental archives, common elements were put in place, ensuring a uniformity of professional practices throughout the country. Thus, from 1841 onwards, a classification framework, i.e. a common method of filing documents, was gradually introduced. As for personnel, the most important measure for the network was the decision in 1850 to place at the head of each repository an archivist trained at the Ecole nationale des Chartes, created in 1821.\r\n\r\nFor more than two hundred years, the institution has continued its work of collecting and preserving public and private archival documents. Its missions have expanded considerably and have also adapted to changes in the administration and the needs of the public. The decentralisation laws of 1982 made local authorities the owners of their archives, thus leading to the transfer of the maintenance of the buildings and the management of the personnel of the departmental archives to the general and then departmental councils.\r\n\r\nFor almost a century, the departmental archives were annexes to the prefectures. This was the case for the Bouches-du-Rhône Archives, which occupied premises in the Prefecture and then in the annex on rue Saint-Sébastien (6th arrondissement) until 2006.\r\n\r\nIn the Bouches-du-Rhône, the importance of the town of Aix-en-Provence, the seat of the main civil and religious institutions of Provence under the Ancien Régime, led to some of the archives being housed in an annex. At the request of the notables of Aix, the Ministry of Public Education appointed an archivist around 1884, thereby firmly establishing the division of the archives between two sites. In 2016, the Departmental Council took the decision to bring together all the collections in Marseille, the transfer of which was completed in 2018."@eng . . _:Bd1d3143f4b82b9834c29efd640d27ac1 . . _:B51210ec8239ab830edf861956f752be7 .
