History
In collaboration with the Cercle d’Histoire Messancy-Aubange and the City of Aubange. Through an in-depth analysis of private, official, or institutional correspondences, the conference will highlight the role of mail as a valuable source for historians. Be it during significant periods of conflict, notable events in local life, or the traces left by the unknown, postal documents reveal unique perspectives on events, mentalities, and daily life. The speaker will draw upon concrete examples from family and public archives to show how correspondence allows for the intersection of "grand" history and individualized narratives, providing a nuanced and vivid reading of the past.
Good to know
The conference takes place on Thursday, September 18, from 8 PM to 10 PM in the Jean Lebon room at Athus Library, accessible via the entrance on the left side of the building. Free and open to all.
