HistoParty - Cartographic celebration

Help us decipher Paul Thomas Bartholomé's previously unseen map of Rochefort and its surroundings during this HistoParty, which will take place on Friday 13 March from 2pm to 6pm. This map has just been discovered in the archives of the Historical Service of the Ministry of Defence in Vincennes.

Frédéric Pouget, senior lecturer at the University of La Rochelle, and Thierry Sauzeau, professor of modern history at the University of Poitiers, will present this map with students from the University of La Rochelle.
They will invite you to view the map on an online application with a student in order to locate interesting features and place them on the HistoParty application as ‘memory points’.
