A new version of the International Francophone Archival Portal (Portail international archivistique francophone or PIAF) has been online for a few days: http://www.piaf-archives.org/ . This version notably include the Francophone Archival News (Nouvelles archivistiques francophones): http://www.piaf-archives.org/nouvelles-archivistiques-francophones , on which I’ve been working for some time.
