Based on important archival collections conserved at the Maison Archeology and Ethnology René-Ginouvès, the project aims to constitute a digital source of scientific documentation of record for major French archeological digs, in France and abroad, since the middle of the 20th century. This online documentation collection will be accessible to a variety of audiences: archeologists, researchers, high school students, general public.
This online access renews the different forms of re-exploitation and re-appropriation of past research. The project also ensures the study of the impact of these new practices on various users.
