Public Institutional Documentation & Archival Repository
As a certified non-profit organization (Association loi 1901, RNA W273000521, SIREN 387600521) operating municipal public sports grounds in Verneuil d'Avre et d'Iton, our association is committed to total institutional clarity. Below you will find our foundational legal charters, administrative records, safety certifications, and youth educational materials.
Our open archive policy reflects our democratic ethos: public institutions entrusted with municipal land stewardship must operate without secrecy. By providing unobstructed digital access to our governing statutes, audited financial books, assembly records, and technical protocols, we invite community oversight and foster lasting trust with the residents of Verneuil and the regional authorities of the Eure department.

Société des Courses Hippiques maintains its institutional archives according to strict standards established by the Interministerial Service of Archives of France (SIAF). In compliance with Law no. 78-753 on the freedom of access to administrative documents, all files originating from our public utility mandate, municipal operating conventions, and audited subsidy records are classified as open public records.
These files are mirrored in permanent digital preservation formats (PDF/A) to ensure readability across future decades. In addition to our digital PDF repository, duplicate microfilms and physical paper records of foundational assemblies dating back to our earliest municipal fixtures are deposited with the municipal library of Verneuil d'Avre et d'Iton and the Departmental Archives in Évreux.
Citizens, researchers, journalists, and university scholars may request certified copies or physical consultations without fee during regular secretariat opening hours. We believe that an open archive is the foundation of civic trust.
