RUGBY ARCHIVES APPEAL

Bordeaux Métropole’s Archives Department is launching an appeal to collect rugby-themed documents from the general public in the metropolitan area in order to put together a collection of archives for this popular sport that is so emblematic of our region.

Rugby runs deep here in an area that boasts many amateur and professional clubs, revealing just how devoted people are to the sport.

By entrusting documents or souvenirs that have been lovingly conserved by clubs, managers, players, volunteers, fans and all the other lovers of rugby, to the Bordeaux Métropole Archives, they will help us to learn more about our heritage of all things rugby.

Photos, drawings, texts, postcards, fliers, newspapers, posters, films, videos, models and goodies – all unique souvenirs that can be passed on to future generations. Everything that is collected will be lovingly preserved and put on display for the general public, free of charge, at the Métropole Archives.

An exhibition featuring a selection of the documents collected will run from 8 September to 28 October 2023.
