The Colonel Mohamed-Chaâbani Regional Museum in Biskra is devoted to the history of the historic Wilaya VI and the War of Liberation. Its holdings bring together archives, photographs and objects entrusted to it, notably by fighters, their families and donors.
Understanding how the struggle was organised
An article from March 2025 describes additions to the collections, including wartime reports, accounts of operations and meeting minutes. Other documents concern healthcare, civil registration and living conditions in guerrilla camps and bunkers. These archives shed light on the military, administrative and everyday dimensions of the struggle.
Individual and group photographs put faces to the lives traced in the texts. The private libraries of resistance fighters and researchers, also mentioned in the report, broaden the documentary holdings beyond the objects on display.
Everyday life through objects
Clothing, weapons, utensils, lighting equipment and satchels are among the categories of objects collected. Their interest lies as much in what they reveal about everyday practices and material conditions as in their association with particular people or events.
The official quoted describes donations as an essential resource for preserving this evidence and enabling its study. However, the acquisition figures in the report cover both the museum and its branches: they should not be presented as a total number of objects on view in Biskra. The cultural listing confirms the institution’s existence, but the captured pages provide neither direct contact details nor precise arrangements for consulting the archives.
