I Agree After I entered my last comment, I realized that "notebook log" is an expression that is a bit redundant.

Nicole Acher Aug 3, 2021:

I would go with either "daily bulletin" or "daily logbook". "Notebook Log" doesn't reflect the fact that it's a daily log ("du jour" in the original).

Samuël Buysschaert Aug 3, 2021:

"notebook log" works for me, conveys the right idea in a clearer way imo. // have to keep in mind if a choice has to be made, who was the recipient of the information, in this particular history context and the important item concerned.

Barbara Cochran, MFA (asker) Aug 2, 2021:

What About . . . . . . calling it a "notebook log"?

Barbara Cochran, MFA (asker) Aug 2, 2021:

Thanks Again, Althea A very valuable post!

I'm not sure if this would be the same thing, but among the original ERR documents collected after the war were 'Cahiers d’Emballage' which were "5 vols. of lists and crate inventories for items leaving the Jeu de Paume, with later typescript transcriptions. An endorsement note signed by [Rose] Valland in the first volume explains that the five notebooks, found after the Germans left Paris, represent all of the goods sent from the Jeu de Paume (with some received from the German Embassy). A sixth typescript also remains, but the original notebook has not been found"

This is the only reference I can find of ERR 'cahiers'. They had other records eg the 'Sonderstab Bildende Kunst: Sichergestelltes Kunstgut' albums, but these were more photo albums that documented the stolen artworks and I don't think these would have been referred to as cahiers.

I think it might be, list of pieces of art and transfert informations, i know around that time some inventory were seized/confiscated/packed to be send to Germany, some directly to Goering.

Il s'agit d'objets saisi en France par le Nazis. Pensez-vous que c'est un cahier qui contient listes du inventoire de ces objets?

Samuël Buysschaert Aug 2, 2021:

Agree with polyglot45,

Assuming we are in 1942, when they try to identify the correct names of owners whose cultural assets were confiscated by the ERR, after the war, they use available documentation that they refer to ERR records.

polyglot45 Aug 2, 2021:

maybe the daily record/log

Emmanuella Aug 2, 2021:

Oui merci, mais on ne mentionne pas de quelle (s) oeuvre (s) il s'agit ? Dans ce cas, 'daily logbook' me semble l'interprétation la plus indiquée.

PardonneZ-moi, le transfert d'objets d'art au Louvre pendant l'Occupation.

Emmanuella Aug 2, 2021:

Apparemment. De quel transfert s'agit-il ?
