L'institutionnalisation des services du patrimoine Algérien (1962- 1970)‎ : a la recherche d'une voie

الملخص EN

Following independence (1962), Algeria drew a political policy that aimed to manage its overall cultural heritage.

The inventory of fixtures demonstrated the conditions of the difficult cultural development due to the absence of a national framework capable of filling the void caused by the departure of the absolute majority of the French executive staff.

However, an institutionalized policy of the various aspects of the archeological and the national historic heritage were being progressively implemented along with an important legal system.

But, the inherited difficulties with regard to the approaches and strategies that were put into effect (the centralized management style, the lack of knowledge and skills, the deficiency of resources, etc) had contributed to keep the development of the patrimonial sector to a stage that did not have the desired extent by its actors.
