Abstract

Medieval charters and archives were a natural component of an institution's memory: acts and deeds constituted primarily a way to keep and preserve the remembrance of a legal or para-legal action for the future. But beyond this evident fact, such documents could also be used to produce, or take part in, specific memorial discourses. This session deals with the process of cartularization and its links to the institution's memory and collective identity in the 13th century (Saint-Germain des Prés), and 15th century (Holland, Scotland.)
