Several territorial archives have begun to collect the memory of the confinement: testimonies of citizens confined to their homes for an unedited slice of life, into which researchers in the humanities will soon dive.
The idea was launched by the Vosges departmental archives on social networks. "Simultaneously with the municipal archives of Beaune, from March 18", on the second day of the confinement of the population, says François Petrazoller.
"We have a role to play, that of preserving the memory," believes the head of the Vosges archives, recalling that his Parisian counterparts had collected testimonies directly in the street after the attacks of November 2015. " We wanted to launch the call right away, because the memory goes quickly "From the Seine-Maritime to the Mayenne, through the Gard and the Aube, or in the cities of Lorient, Avignon or Saint-Etienne, we collect from the public writings, drawings, photos, videos.
