description The aim of this article is to examine the professionalisation of the different jobs associated with the protection of historic monuments in France. A brief introduction serves as a reminder of how royal buildings were constructed and maintained under the Ancien Régime, but the article then goes on to focus on the contemporary period since the French Revolution. The major steps in this process of professionalisation are covered, from the early creation of the post of historic monuments inspector under the July Monarchy during the 1830s, up to and including the most recent administrative reforms. This progressive structuration of the professional competences required concerns the jobs both of heritage curators and architects and is associated with other professions involved in heritage studies and conservation, such as archaeologists and curators and researchers at the national inventory service. In this examination of how jobs were given professional status, particular attention is paid to the establishment of appropriate selection methods, with the development of examinations gradually replacing co-optation, from 1884 for diocesan architects and from 1894 for chief architects of historic monuments. These new selection procedures were accompanied by the creation of specific training programmes, at the Ecole de Chaillot, for architects, from 1887, and, a century later, for curators, the Ecole nationale du Patrimoine, the National Heritage school.
