Gallica and later digital libraries put Joan trial editions on a public URL
By the late 1990s Gallica was publishing public digital copies of Jeanne d’Arc trial editions and related prints. Digital libraries freeze one scan and open search. In the causal graph this event strengthens Digital Learning Access, a driver that weakens Learning Poverty Rate (low- and middle-income countries) — an improving welfare path.
Read the full account
By the late 1990s Gallica was publishing public digital copies of Jeanne d’Arc trial editions and related prints.
Context
Digital libraries freeze one scan and open search. Both are true. Quicherat 1841 is the print predecessor stored separately.
Joan of Arc is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.
Why it matters
Knowledge-access path. High confidence on public URLs.
A URL is not Rouen’s fire.
Who was responsible
Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

Complex: her documented identity is the subject. BnF digitisation is the access act.
What changed
