What does it mean for years of dedicated research to culminate in a truly remarkable discovery? This is precisely the origin of this initiative, an extraordinary archival finding at the École nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC) : the Fradet archive, an unpublished collection of documents on railway construction in nineteenth-century Ottoman Europe. This discovery…
