Digital iconographic collections

A financial support, obtained in fall 2014 from the Consortium Sources médiévales (COSME) - Très grande infrastructure de recherche (TGIR) Huma-Num, allowed the iconographic documentation of the CERCOR to be digitalized and, in connection to the academic library of Jean-Monnet, to be managed by staff recruited under contract.
The stock of 1 600 slides showing Romanesque, Gothic or Baroque religious structures, which are used by the collection of art and architecture "Zodiaque", founded by dom SURCHAMP, was given to the CERCOR by Auguste BERTHIER. He is now in the BRISE-ES catalog under the classification C 5 BER and can be consulted in the laboratory. The files digitalized from the slides are meant to be put online. A website, “ARCHIVOLTE”, has been made to consult the stock.
The support also allowed the census and the digitization of a stock of 85 maps and precinct maps; ecclesiastic, of realms, of establishments of structures and cities – covering a period covering the Middle-Ages to the early modern era. This work tool, which is for both students and teachers, mostly consists of printed copies and can be consulted in the lab in electronic format.
