This pamphlet is the guide to a large microfiche collection -- and thus a bibliography -- of sources for the "immense effort of regional description and recording undertaken in France between 1795 and 1815." Many of the works cited are in SML in original editions; the rest were purchased on microfiche and are listed in Orbis under the general collection as well as individually. The guide divides titles into methodological works, periodicals, general works, and prefects' memoires and other inquests; it contains a useful introduction and a brief bibliography.
