Journal Officiel: Débats Parlementaires, 1871-1942

About

Also known as France. Assemblée Nationale. Chambre des Députés. Journal Officiel.
The Journal Officiel is the official gazette of France. It appears daily, except for Mondays and holidays and contains texts of national laws and decrees, important administrative orders and proclamations, and parliamentary debates and committee reports. After 1881, the Journal was published in several parts: 1.) Lois et Decrets; 2.) Debats Parlementaires, which contains A. Senat, and B. the Assemblee Nationale; 3.) Documents Administratifs; 4.) Impressions; 5.) Avis et Rapports du Conseil Economique et Social. The indexes (Tables) are published annually. The University Libraries own only the series from the Chambre des Déoutés for this period of the Third Republic, not those for the Senat. The Libraries do have the printed Archives Parlementaires covering 1787 to 1860 in print in the Library Annex.
