Collection Description & Creator Information
- Description:
The collection consists of correspondence, documents, legal papers, notebooks, and notes relating to French history, particularly the French Revolution, collected by Bord. The collection includes papers, 1626-1877 (but chiefly from the era of the French Revolution and Napoleon), relating to the Bord family in the French town of Bourges and in the district of La Châtre, Départment de l'Indre; letters, 1761-1790, to Paporet de Maxilly, secretary to Louis XVI, pertaining to the fiscal and judicial administration, chiefly in the 1770s and 80s, of landed estates in Aubusson, Guéret, and other places in the Départment de Creuse; notes on emigration probably taken by Henri Forneron (1834-1886) while researching his HISTOIRE GÉNÉRALE DES ÉMIGRES PENDANT LA RÉVOLUTION FRANÇAISE; 19th-century notes for a French dictionary and notes for a glossary of names with etymological information; and a notebook of dictionary entries with comments on usage. In addition, there are six volumes of notes and three scrapbooks on the French Revolution, and manuscript volumes entitled "Un émeute à Saint-Nazaire en 1791", "Législation des grains", "Histoire de l'épiscopat française, 1789-1804", and "Documents communiqués le 15 décembre 1853 par Mr. Goré, archiviste".
