Device overview
What is the processing, digitization and valorisation of archives nationally and internationally?
The Archives de France (SIAF) is attached to the General Directorate of Heritage and Architecture of the Ministry of Culture. It designs, directs and controls the action of the State in the field of public archives for administrative, civic, scientific and cultural purposes.
The SIAF ensures the dissemination and enhancement of archival heritage throughout the territory. He is responsible for defining the collection, sorting, classification, description, conservation and communication policies of public archives, apart from those of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Armed Forces.
Objectives of the approach
The purpose of the process is to allow users to apply online for grants for projects intended to:
- safeguard archives on national or international territory;
- complete the collection of thematic archives;
- improve their communication conditions, in particular by digitising and putting them online;
- establish their classification and inventory;
- highlight them through the organization of exhibitions, publications, symposia and study days.
