International Archives Week
“International Archives Week” (June 8–14, 2026), organized jointly by 16 institutions in France (departmental archives, municipal archives, national archives, and archival services in higher education), was a success:
Contributions and introductory workshops (held internally or open to the public) brought together at least 70 contributors,
More than 3,300 media files were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons: signatures of notable figures, postcards and old photographs, leaflets and posters, handwritten documents, and architectural plans and drawings
7 new articles were created on Wikipedia, over 1,000 pages were edited, and 217 references were added.
All of these efforts support the open access to archival content and the dissemination of historical heritage!
