| Sumario: | Archives are at the heart of contradictory practices and policies: on the one hand, massive production, immediate collection, instantaneous exploitation, and open publication; on the other, forgetfulness, destruction or negligence, and closure of access. The article illustrates these contradictions by, first of all, comparing three archive collection initiatives that have allowed and allow us to restore the place of the ‘invisible’ in our societies in the face of two more collective operations following the French drama of November 13, 2015, and the confinement periods. After the collection come the questions relating to the tensions generated by digital production: how to manage the continuous flow, the demand for immediacy, and the declining human presence? Finally, in a context where public memorial policies and regulatory measures intended to protect defense secrecy and the right to be forgotten coexist, how can archivists and historians work to restore this memory to citizens? |
