Abstract
The photographic collections and written archives (notes, excavation notebooks, correspondence, etc.) of travelers, archaeologists, historians and art historians are essential sources for studying archaeological heritage, as well as for understanding the evolution of scientific practices in the 19th and 20th centuries. Long misunderstood, dispersed and/or inaccessible, this documentation is now the subject of a number of inventory and enhancement projects, whose contributions to research into the rediscovery of contexts will be examined here.
