Since the capitulation of the island in 1810, the archives records were entrusted to a French Officer, Marrou and after the signature of the Treaty of Paris in 1814, Article 31, the archives records were returned to their former abode in the Government House. The Archives became officially recognised in 1815 with the appointment of Marie Claude Antoine Marrier Baron d\u2019Unienville as the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Colonial Archivist.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some selective records on late 1<sup>st<\/sup> Colonial Archivist can be viewed.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalarchives.govmu.org\/nationalarchiveswp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Marie-Claude-Antoine-Marrier-Baron-dUnienville-scaled.jpg\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>HD<\/strong>\/2 \u2013<\/span> <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lithograph of Marie Claude Antoine Marrier Baron d\u2019Unienville<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalarchives.govmu.org\/nationalarchiveswp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Dictionnnaire-de-biographie-NO.1.jpg\">Dictionnaire de Biographie Mauricienne &#8211; No. 6 &#8211; Pg 189<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalarchives.govmu.org\/nationalarchiveswp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mauritius-Blue-Book-1817-scaled.jpg\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Mauritius Blue Book Year 1817<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalarchives.govmu.org\/nationalarchiveswp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SD-3-06.06.1816-scaled.jpg\">SD 3\/61- 06 June 1816 \u2013 Letter of Appointment of Marie Claude Antoine Marrier Baron d\u2019Unienville as the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Colonial Archivist.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalarchives.govmu.org\/nationalarchiveswp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RA-426-04.09.1830-scaled.jpg\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>RA 426 &#8211;<\/strong> <strong>04.09.1830 &#8211; Colonial Archivist requesting claim for payment for his statistical work.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalarchives.govmu.org\/nationalarchiveswp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RA-426-24.03.1831-scaled.jpg\">RA 426 &#8211; 24.03.1831 &#8211; Colonial Archivist requesting authority for the continuance of employment of Mr. Duffau, extra clerk.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The 9th June marks the International Archives Day.
