I am very pleased to have just begun a position at the French National Archives, in the Ancien Régime section. While on leave from the French civil service over a number of years, I had university and research posts in Chile and the United States. Before my time in the academic world, I worked in French departmental archives, the Institut national de l'audiovisuel (film production archives of the French National TV) and at the Direction des Archives de France, in the division that sets archival policies and norms.
