Around two years after the foundation of the Department of Archives and the Indochinese Library, in 1919, Director Paul Boudet had the documents of the first southern governors of Vietnam (1858 - 1887) transferred from Saigon to Hanoi. These are the invaluable documents, reflecting the French invasion of southern Vietnam (Cochinchina), their negotiations with the Vietnamese courts, their pacification of northern Vietnam (Tonkin) as well as the first experiments of the colonial administrative system in Tonkin. Out of these documents, the most significant materials are those relating to the two pacifications and occupations of Tonkin, respectively in 1873 and 1882. Many documents show the arrogant attitude of Henri Riviere during this time. The most typical document is the Report No. 611, compiled by Henri Riviere and submitted to the French Minister of Navy and Colony, which documented the occupation of the Hanoi Citadel.
