Local Archives in Wallonia: preservation and valorisation of the local archival heritage

Texte petit  Texte normal  Texte grand

Content

The municipal administrations and bodies were created during the French period and produce vast amounts of paper and digital archives. Due to their small size, most municipalities are not able to employ an archivist, not even half-time. So the idea to join forces came up. Upon request by several local representatives and administrations, and after consultation with the supervising authorities and the Union of Cities and Municipalities of Wallonia, the State Archives recruited several itinerant archivists to help any interested municipalities and Public Welfare Centres (CPAS) in improving the management of their document flow and to resolve backlog in a structural and individualised manner.

The project Archives locales de Wallonie aims at preserving and valorising local archival heritage. It was initiated in 2010 and continues to gather momentum.
