We’re delighted to have Sara Harvey and Charline Granger to discuss The Comédie Française Registers project!
 
The Comédie Française Registers project, led by a Canadian, French and American team, aims to build a knowledge environment around the daily programming of the Paris theatre from 1680 to 1793. The first phase, now completed, consisted in creating a database for the daily box office receipts (https://www.cfregisters.org). The second phase of the project, just starting, will produce three new databases: one on expenses, one on casting and one on theatre criticism in periodicals and newspapers. At this stage – the design stage – we are solving problems and asking questions, especially about the data management system for expenses and critic and data mapping.
