Calenda Announcement 1,420,503 (excerpts)
The Parliament of Paris is one of the largest producers of archives from the medieval period, and the diversity of the parties and disputes brought before the court has fueled research far beyond the history of medieval justice and procedure alone, opening up new perspectives in political, economic, social, and cultural history. This conference has a twofold objective. On the one hand, it aims to bring together researchers from various disciplines who are currently working on or with the Parliament’s collection and to encourage them to discuss new research perspectives that may emerge from renewed access to the archives. Second, the conference aims to take stock of the use of the numerous research tools that have been gradually developed and to consider which ones should be developed in the future.
