This corpus brings together the fundamental texts on heritage preservation covering the period 1787 - 1914, which are available in digital reference libraries (Gallica, INHA, etc.). Born of the Revolution, the emergence of an awareness of heritage in the 19th century led to the implementation of a policy and an administration responsible for identifying, protecting, restoring and disseminating to all a heritage that had become common property. 26 texts organised in an interactive timeline can be consulted and downloaded directly from this page, supplemented by texts that have also been published and are available from the Inp resource centre.
