Abstract

1998 marked the 150th anniversary of the first publication of "Annales hydrographiques” (Hydrographic Annals) by the French Hydrographic Service. After a description of the layout and contents of the five series which have been issued successively and without a break since 1848, this article sketches, through the studies and papers published in the Annals, a panorama of the sciences and techniques employed by French hydrographers during this period.
