The Accounting of Military Engineers in Algeria from 1830 to 1848

During the July Monarchy, a collection of texts, images, and surveys was created by military engineers. For this contribution, particular attention will be paid to the estimates and memoranda of work written by the chief military engineers, as well as to the apostilles of the director of fortifications in Algeria providing recommendations. This collection provides concrete descriptions of the work to be carried out and the allocation of the military budget devoted to this mission.
