We cite from the COVER:
*
"The photographie collections of the musée d'Histoire contemporaine-BDIC comprise more than one million prints, contacts, glass plates and film negatives, which trace the development of photography and its applications (reportage, portraits, amateur photography, propaganda, etc.) through the twentieth century. They are composed, on the one hand, of the historical archive, collected at different periods - a veritable chronicle of modern times - and on the other hand, a collection of works by contemporary photographers, individual interpretations of events, be they serious or ordinary, tragic or happy."
"This book presents a selection of these documents and adopts a chronological approach for the historical archive and, for the more recent acquisitions, proposes four themes that provide insights into today's world: Urban Change, Human Condition, Confrontation, Remembrance."
