Description

AI Enhanced

This webpage serves as a comprehensive digital archive for Morocco's official government gazettes, hosting an impressive collection of 3,551 gazettes spanning over a century of Moroccan administrative and legal history. The page functions as a searchable database that organizes these official government publications chronologically from 1912 to 2025, with each year displaying the total number of available gazettes alongside a monthly breakdown using letter abbreviations (J-D for January through December). The collection reveals fascinating patterns in Morocco's governmental publishing history, with notable variations in gazette frequency across different historical periods. The most prolific years appear to be in the mid-20th century, with 1939 showing the highest count at 71 gazettes, followed by other years in the 1930s-1950s averaging around 50-60 publications annually. There's a significant decline during the 1960s-1990s, with many years showing fewer than 30 gazettes, before stabilizing at around 25-30 gazettes per year in the 2000s and beyond. The earliest entries from 1912-1913 mark the beginning of the French Protectorate period, making this collection particularly valuable for researchers studying Morocco's colonial and post-independence administrative evolution. This digital repository appears to be part of a broader African gazette digitization project (gazettes.africa), targeting researchers, legal professionals, historians, and anyone interested in Morocco's legislative and administrative development. The collection spans crucial historical periods including the French Protectorate (1912-1956), independence, and modern Morocco, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the country's legal framework evolution, policy changes, and governmental communications over more than a century. The website actively encourages community participation in expanding their collection, welcoming donations of gazette collections and offering free scanning and digitization services. This crowdsourcing approach suggests a commitment to preserving African governmental documents and making them accessible to global audiences, while the advanced search functionality indicates sophisticated archival organization designed for serious academic and professional research purposes.
