In both the ex-colonial and the ex-colonized worlds, visions of Africa and its colonial past have become incarcerated in stereotypes, dichotomies, and historical misrepresentation. Especially in European Cultural Heritage, we see a mixture of these ambivalent subjects and habits of lack of self-searching. But the restitution debate in Europe on cultural objects from Africa (Sarr/Savoy 2018) and the Black Lives Matter movement, which also reached Europe in 2020, have set the course for a questioning of the colonial essence of Cultural Heritage.

Le fonds des archives historiques de la Banque de France comporte plus de 110 000 articles (boîtes, registres, photographies…) versés par ses services ou provenant d’établissements en lien avec la Banque de France comme la Caisse des Comptes courants, la Banque de Réescompte de la Sarre ou encore l’Institut d’Émission des États associés. Quelques fonds privés sont aussi conservés comme le fonds d’Argout (gouverneur entre 1834 et 1836) ou le fonds Rist (sous-gouverneur entre 1926 et 1929) déposé par ses descendants.
