The Maison de Salins Foundation is a corporate foundation of general interest made up of 34 entities of the Crédit Agricole group whose vocation, among other things, is to collect and promote documentary resources relating to the history of the cooperative world, all sectors combined. It makes available, via its documentary portal, a vast corpus of digitized documents, which can be consulted online and are accessible to everyone (researchers, students, the general public, etc.)

The Archives Center retains funds from several Peugeot staff cooperatives, which it makes available to Maison de Salins, which is responsible for describing them in detail and digitizing them, before putting them online on its documentary portal. Once processed, the archives will return to Terre Blanche, which will also integrate the digitized files into its database. A first part has already been put online -> https://collections.maison-salins.fr/s/patrimoine/item-set
