Archives départementales du Cher

Users may request the reproduction of archival documents or extracts from library works if the physical condition of these documents or works allows it. The use of digital cameras without flash is allowed in the reading room under the same conditions. Reproduction of documents by departmental council staff at the request of a user is subject to payment of a reproduction fee before the documents are sent or collected from the reception desk. 

The Departmental Archives exercise scientific and technical control over the archives produced by local authorities on behalf of the State, within their geographical jurisdiction. For example, they ensure the proper conservation of the archives of the municipalities and examine the requests for elimination that are submitted to them. 

Annual registration of readers is made on presentation of an identity document. Access to the reading room is free.
