This is a recent acquisition of an important journal documenting the French Revolution in Marseille. It includes 183 (of a total of 184) issues of the journal of the Jacobins of Marseille and its surrounding area. Following the lead of the Observateur marseillais, which folded in 1790, the Journal des départemens méridionaux appeared three times a week in 1792-1793. In addition to Marseille, it counted subscribers among Jacobin clubs in neighboring cities as well as in Paris. The Journal contained reports of the clubs' debates, news from the Revolution, including a section on what was happening Martinique, popular songs and poems, as well as reviews of plays and books. It would be great source material for anyone looking to work on how the French Revolution was experienced in the provinces. And complete runs, as this almost is, do not exist, even in France. For an overview of French Revolution journals in Marseille, see this article.
