Vol. 9, no. 31

Annonce spéciale/Special announcement

Une nouvelle version du Portail international archivistique francophone (PIAF) est en ligne depuis quelques jours : http://www.piaf-archives.org/ . Cette version inclut notamment les Nouvelles archivistiques francophones: http://www.piaf-archives.org/nouvelles-archivistiques-francophones , sur lesquelles je travaille depuis quelques temps. J'en profite pour vous inciter à découvrir ou redécouvrir le PIAF, sans doute un des meilleurs outils de formation et d'information disponible sur Internet pour notre profession.

A new version of the International Francophone Archival Portal (Portail international archivistique francophone or PIAF) has been online for a few days: http://www.piaf-archives.org/ . This version notably include the Francophone Archival News (Nouvelles archivistiques francophones): http://www.piaf-archives.org/nouvelles-archivistiques-francophones , on which I've been working for some time. If you understand French, I encourage you to discover or rediscover the PIAF, undoubtedly one of the best training and information tools available on the Web for our profession.
