Help needed!

[nirejseki.livejournal.com]

I'm currently attempting to do a research project on the French Revolution, specifically on nationalism/patriotism; and even more specifically on the various ways the French Revolutionaries dictated how their nation should go. (Clothing strictures, the new calender, who does/does not belong in a nation)

I'm particularly looking for things they said in the various legislatures (or at least during the time of the legislatures!)

My teacher has assigned us to finish our bibliography and research over spring break, so I was hoping you guys here could help direct me to some good sources to use! Secondary, primary, books, articles - anything's good! I figure if anyone knows something on this subject it's you.

Thanks a lot!

(I will happy repay anyone who helps with pictures of whatever they like! Please, please help! *desperate*)

Do you read French?

Not well enough to be any use, unfortunately. But if you have anything that can be linked to on the internet as opposed to on paper, I can get it translated...

I recommend looking at Gallica. I know they have the published records of the National Convention on their online archives. I believe it's under the title of "archives parlementaires" or such.

This is my favorite source! It is, however, in French and using computer translation to translate primary source documents can be a bit confusing, but nonetheless, it's probably worth looking at. It has transcripts from the legislative sessions and the Revolutionary Tribunal, documents from the Committees, speeches, articles, etc.

This is another good source. It has a wide collection of artwork, political documents, songs, etc from the French Revolution and the eighteenth century, all in English. The one drawback is that these archives seem a bit inconsistent at times, lacking some well-known documents and having some that are only tangentially related to the revolution.

Thank you so much!
