Microcard Editions, 1961-70. 16,479 cards and 1523 fiches. The bulk of the collection covers the period 1787-1800, and examines the French Revolution, more specifically, the period of the National Constituent Assembly. These pamphlets form a composite picture of this period of French politics, religion, economy, and culture. The variety of literary forms used by the writers are of significance for the study of French literature of the period.
Some pamphlets cover the pre-revolutionary period.
