          |  CD-Rom production: "The Town 
            in Great Britain in the 18th Century"  |

           The 
            present project is based on work done by members of the Research Centre 
            as part of a multidisciplinary course on the town in the 18th century 
            in Great Britain, and by visiting 18th century specialists from other 
            universities also working on research projects, which involved bringing 
            together different types of documents and studying their respective 
            methods of interpretation.  
             
             The 
            aim of the CD ROM is, beyond the study of a theme, to initiate young 
            researchers to the range of possilities offered by electronic ressources: 
            hypertext (text/image), keyword search, models of representation in 
            3D, databases and detailed tables.  |

           The 
            Eighteenth Century was the period of the French Encyclopaedia, in 
            which the reference system is based on the principle of multiple interrelations 
            between various elements of knowledge, accumulation of several sciences, 
            the ancestor of hypertext presentation: "bring discoveries together 
            and organise them so as the enlighten more men". (Diderot)
