Subfonds 40 COL 1-987 - Treated

2,2 lfm 22 Karton

The vast majority of the fund is made up of treaties signed in the 19th century by France with the chiefs of sub-Saharan Africa, as well as some conventions concluded on the West African coast in the previous century and a village donation in Guinea in 1687. Only six cases do not concern Africa: copies of the decrees of ratification by the President of the Republic of the treaties and conventions between France and Annam (6 June 1884 and 18 February 1885) and the conventions with the Sultans of Grande-Comore and Anjouan (6 and 8 January 1892), two treaties concluded with Rurutu and Rimatara in 1889, in Oceania.The documents are in the form of originals, handwritten, typed or mimeographed copies and printed copies, frequently gathered in the same file, which make it possible to monitor the progress of French settlement over the years, particularly in the 1880s, and constitute an important source for African history. Of particular interest are the 289 treaties signed by Belgium in 1883 and 1884 during the conquest of the Kwilu-Niari Valley (Congo), territory ceded to France in 1885.
