In the footsteps of history. Memory of the Nation in arms. From 13 May to 22 July 2023

The Service historique de la Défense (SHD) preserves over 450 linear kilometres of archive and library documents dating back to the 16th century, which archivists, librarians, historians, and scientific and technical personnel are working to inventory, communicate, enhance and enrich.

Sharing this wealth is the aim of this exhibition, which aims to present to the many visitors to the Service historique de la Défense a selection of documents and objects of military symbolism, some emblematic, others unpublished or little known, but all of which represent a part of the history and memory of the Nation in arms.
