They are the interlocutors of the directors of archives services in the departments, the communes and the intercommunalities on the one hand and of SIAF (interdepartmental service of the Archives of France) on the other hand, in order to coordinate the SIAF projects in the regions, with the various archives services but also: to contribute to the animation of the regional network of directors of archives, to inform the SIAF of investment projects in the territories, to follow, by delegation, applications for investment credits and their disbursement to the communities and to inform the available support mechanisms and to investigate applications for operating grants. However, the DRAC Book and Reading Counsellors do not exercise scientific and technical control over the archives services, these tasks being the responsibility of the departmental archives directors.
