First World War 1914-1918 “Golden Book of Public Education and Fine Arts”
Description
In September 1914, twenty-five thousand members of public education were mobilised in the French army. To pay tribute to them, the Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts, Albert Sarraut, decided, by circular of 12 September 1914, to open a “Golden Book of the University” composed of lists of “those who have fallen, dead or wounded, on the battlefield”.
From all over France, from 1914 until 1920, lists sent to the ministry by the staff of the central administration, the academies and, more rarely, the military authorities or the families of the victims. 17144 records are drawn up, listing the personnel of primary, secondary, higher education and the members of the central administration who have been declared injured, dead or missing during this period.
It is from these records, now kept in the National Archives and not claiming completeness, that this base was built by the mission of archives and cultural heritage of the Ministry.
