The French Senate Library has completed digitization of the official newsletters which had recorded all the parliament debates beginning from 1958. Henceforth they are available online in PDF. The minutes of the Senate meetings in the period of 1958 – 1982 include also the questions submitted by senators in writing.

In addition, for the first time the Senate makes accessible the digitized reports of its private sessions held during the World War I, from July 1916 to July 1917. They are available in the appendix to the meetings of September 1968, when their publication was authorized by the Senate Bureau.
