European Heritage Days: Mission de préfiguration des archives nationales

Event free

Guided tour of the Princely Government's archive storehouse (15 min) and guided presentation of documents (30 min) by appointment only, at 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm.

The Mission de préfiguration des Archives nationales (MPAN), set up in 2021, and the Service central des archives et de la documentation administrative (SCADA), created in 1967 as the Service des archives centrales (SAC), are responsible for preserving heritage archives: the definitive archives of the Princely Government's departments at SCADA, and heritage archives from other sources at MPAN.

The aim is to enhance the value of the materials that will be used to write the Principality's contemporary history, mainly of the 20th and 21st centuries, but also of the 19th century. The Princely Government's main archive warehouse houses 11,000 archive boxes, representing 1,200 linear meters on 1,200 shelves.

Location: Ministry of State, Annex, Place de la Visitation
