It is possible to search the different document collections and archives of the CEGES/SOMA simultaneously, or to select one or more documentary entities. With regard to the archive collections the context is always available which allows, other than via the classic search methods, to browse the collections.
The ultimate objective is to integrate the collections of the CEGES/SOMA. The following collections are already accessible :
- The archive collections: all descriptions on fund level and higher, and more than half of the inventories. Si vous désirez consulter l'inventaire d'un fonds déterminé, cliquez sur le bouton "afficher dans le contexte" et ouvrez ensuite les niveaux inférieurs OU cliquez sur le lien pdf dans la sous-rubrique "Voir aussi" située en bas de la description du fonds.
- All manuscripts.
- 80% of the books and brochures.
- 80% of the periodicals.
