The Gard Departmental Archives have extended their collection campaign for photographs, videos, testimonies, and documents related to floods that have marked the region until the end of 2026.

This initiative aims to enrich collective memory and compensate for the lack of available archives on these climatic events. The goal is to preserve the territory's history and better understand these phenomena.
The effort is part of a logic of solidarity within the Gard and historical transmission. The Archives invite residents to share any type of material related to floods, whether it be photographs (analog or digital), videos, audio recordings, paper documents (letters, accounts, notebooks, press clippings), or digital files.
Initially planned until September 30, 2026, the campaign has been extended due to its success. These documents are considered essential sources for local history.
