However, this does not mean that all these archives can be consulted online. For legal reasons in particular (copyright, specific consultation procedures, privacy), some documents can only be consulted in the reading room. Most of these documents can be accessed via our External siteonline catalogue. It is important to remember that despite our efforts, a large proportion of the archives can only be consulted in paper form.
