Revolution
Lasteyrie du Saillant, Robert Charles. Bibliographie générale des travaux historiques et archéologiques publiés par les sociétés savantes de la France, dressée sous les auspices du Ministère de l'Instruction Publique... Paris: Imprimerie Nationale, 1888-1918. 6 v.
SML Reference Z2183 +L37 (LC)
"Publication of the Comité des Travaux Historiques et Scientifiques. v.1-4 cover the literature published to the year 1885; v.5-6 deal with publications of 1886-1900. A monumental undertaking, the most important work on French societies. Arranged alphabetically first by departement, then by town, and under each by society. For each society gives: brief history, changes of name, suspensions, mergers, etc.; full titles, dates, etc., of all its publications; full contents of each volume. An index of societies (arranged by departement) at the end of v.6 links together references to the same society in the main part and the supplement. Includes also societies in the French colonies and French societies abroad. Most useful at present for the historical matter about the societies and for the titles, collation, and contents of the sets of their publications, but cannot be used rapidly for the analytical material. An alphabetical author and subject index was projected but never published." (Sheehy DC157)

An annual continuation of the Lasteyrie work, listing in the nine annuals 42,612 analyticals. Indexes to be noted: v.3, no.3, 1909/10, has general index of societies (but not of analytics) in v.1-3; v.1, no.1, 1901/02, has both an author and a subject index to the analytical material in that issue."
