The archive room supervisor will be able to give you details on how the archive room works and guide you in your search.
Research tools are available on this website. You can start your research beforehand by searching the various databases (inventories, digitised archives, library, etc.).
Methodological sheets, classified by theme, are also available to guide you.
A historical library of more than 30,000 works is available to readers. It is often a very useful starting point for any research in the archives.
The reading room is open on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from 9am to 5pm and on Tuesday from 1.30pm to 6pm (without prior reservation)
Uninterrupted collection of document orders until 4.15pm.
The digitised databases (parish registers, civil status records) are also accessible at the Maison du Département in Ancenis.
The reading room is available to the public to consult original and multimedia documents, subject to acceptance of the rules. Access is free of charge. There is a simple formality to complete on your first visit: registration to establish your reader's card. To do this, you need to bring an identity document with a photograph (identity card, passport, driving licence, etc.). This personal reader's card gives access to the Archives' reading room and allows you to request documents.
All the documents held have been inventoried and then listed, according to a"classification framewor" which is both thematic and chronological.
The documents are grouped into series according to their date and nature in accordance with the classification framework common to all the Departmental Archives. These series are designated by letters of the alphabet and may be divided into sub-series.
Any request to the Departmental Archives for special services (administrative research, reproduction of documents for scientific purposes, etc.) may be invoiced according to the [rates in force](https://archives.loire-atlantique.fr/44/reproduction-et-reutilisation-des-informations-publiques/c_20529), as set by the deliberations of the Departmental Council on 9 February 2017.
