According to most histories of French archives and libraries, the
nineteenth century was a period of slow but steady recovery from
the trauma of the revolutionary era. In contrast, Moore argues that
the organization of archives and libraries in nineteenth-century
France was neither steady nor progressive. By following the
development of the Ecole des Chartes, the state school for
archivists and librarians, Moore shows that conceptions of "order"
changed dramatically from one decade to the next. More important,
she argues that these changing notions of "order" were directly
connected to contemporary shifts in state politics. Since each new
political regime had its own conceptions of both national history
and public knowledge, each one worked to "restore order" in a
different way.
