Abstract

The administrative yearbooks of the Seine departments and of the city of Paris are crucial sources for understanding the organization of these institutions, and also for finding one’s way around the archives related to the administration of the city. The project carried out as part of the Archival City programme aimed to facilitate access to these yearbooks. Digitalized by the Archives de Paris, which hold them, these documents have been transcribed and encoded in XML-TEI format. Using this fundamental basis, data exports have been performed in handy formats and a visualisation website is currently under construction (planned for the beginning of 2024). Our paper intends to present this project, the sources we have been working on and the results we have obtained. It especially aims to enable the scientific community to use, reuse and enhance the resultant datasets.
