The Institute for Contemporary Publishing Archives located in Calvados welcomed us, on Wednesday, 9th of October. Marjorie Delabarre, in charge of hosting researchers and the library, guided us for a historical visit of the site and the archives. The IMEC allows the storage of publishing archives. This private holding gathers many documents, such as press articles, works of journalists, or publisher’s research. For example, it’s possible to found the first version of a book, or some researches of journalists, when they do an investigation. The archives contain French documents, but also foreign ones. Some of them aren’t public, because the owners have stipulated they remain private. The archivists are subject to professional secrecy. These archives aren’t open to the public. They can be open for the researchers for their theses. Members of the IMEC facilitate their arrival, as Marjorie Delabarre does. Many documents are made available to them, or in a digitized version if they are too old.
