Title

Les Archives des Musées de France

Description
The archives contain material relating to French private collections, particularly to the Rothschild collection, which were safeguarded by the Musées de France and subsequently looted by the Nazi occupation government. The records also include some correspondence between Rose Valland and Jacques Jaujard from 1941-1944. The archives hold two copies of volume 2 of the Repertoire des Bien Spolies en France pendant la Guerre, one of which is annotations regarding claims and restitutions. The archives also include some limited records of the Commission de Choix.
