On 19 and 20 September 2026, the 43rd edition of the European Heritage Days will take place.
For once, this year as well, the JEPs will have two themes: "Heritage in peril: revive, resist, reimagine" and "Heritage of Photography."
In Roncq, we have chosen to address these two themes by offering an exhibition on the history and evolution of photography.
Indeed, for two centuries, photography invented by Nicéphore Nièpce has not ceased to evolve (glass plates, film, instantaneous, digital) and to become more democratic.
In January 2026, the archives and memory service launched a call for manual or digital photography donations for the exhibition as part of the Bicentenary of Photography.
In five months, you have mobilized! 18 donations representing nearly 6,728 photographs have integrated the photographic funds of the City of Roncq.
On Saturday 19 September, come and discover the Grand Album de Roncq in the Hall Samuel-Paty of the Source.
