Abstract: Barely twenty-six years after the occupation of Algeria - that is to say in the year 1856 - the French occupying authorities decided, with the encouragement of the Ministry of War, to create the "Algerian Historical Society". Among their assigned objectives: the preparation of a complete campaign of exploration of the Algerian soil, aiming to collect everything that would make it possible to obtain data and information on the zones under their occupation, and to extend it to zones still "outside control". Among the most important things that the association has inscribed in its agenda are documents, collectibles, numismatics and other materials that can reveal the "history" of Algeria and the region since the Libyan (antiquity) era up to the period of Turkish domination. The "Algerian Historical Society" and its spokesperson, the "Revue Africaine", which came into being the same year, decided that all documents that would come into the possession of soldiers or civilians involved in the campaign should be collected, translated and inscribed, mentioning the geographical location in which they were found. Based on the above, this research will be limited to documents in Algeria in particular, in terms of mode of collection, translation and methods of analysis, in the period between the years 1856 - 1871 only - note that this description campaign lasted one hundred and six years - a difficult period in the modern history of Algeria, given that the campaigns of the colonial army on most Algerian cities and regions, which resisted the occupation, have encountered fierce resistance, which lasted over seventy years, such as the resistance of Emir Abdelkader in the west and center, Ahmed Bey in the east, Zaatcha in the south (Biskra), the Mokrani and Awlad al-Sheikh in the rest of the country.
