About
Les Archives départementales de l'Hérault proposent une visite guidée de leurs collections photographiques, couvrant les procédés du XIXe siècle aux usages contemporains, aux Archives départementales de l'Hérault à Montpellier du 19 au 20 septembre 2026.
The Archives départementales de l'Hérault open their photographic collections to the public with an accessible guided tour spanning the full history of photography.
From the pioneering techniques of the 19th century to contemporary documentary and artistic practices, the tour draws on public archives, private family albums and the work of individual photographers to tell the story of photography as a medium of memory and heritage.
The tour invites participants to look afresh at the photographic image as both historical evidence and cultural legacy. It is open to all and takes place on 19 and 20 September 2026 as part of the European Heritage Days.
