the original edition, aesthetically preferable to the '83-7 ed., but
considerably more difficult to use.

that Enc site
http://www.cn-telma.fr/corpus/
is getting pretty useful.
lots of nice cartularies, including a new/first edition of the St. Denis
charters.

the Institut national d'histoire de l'art site has a "Bibliotheque numerique"
http://inha.fr/spip.php?rubrique286
which has beautiful (color) .pdf copies of
Bernard de Montfaucon's Les Monumens de la monarchie françoise. (Paris,
1729-33):
http://bibliotheque-numerique.inha.fr/searchresults.cfm?cfid=455745&cftoken=44667109&isp=1&ism=0&isv=0&ispdf=3&str=Les%20Monumens%20de%20la%20monarchie%20fran%E7oise
they even did the contemporary, full calf, gilt bindings.
almost like having a real copy of one's own.
almost...
for those who might be interested in things Chartrain:
my favorites are the Inventaires sommaires of the (very rich) Eure-et-Loir
departmental archives, availble here:
http://www.archives28.fr/ec/index2.php
esp.
Série G, t. 1. Archives ecclésiastiques, évêchés, chapitres, séminaires.
[29.3 Mb]
and
Série H, t. 1. Archives ecclésiastiques, clergé régulier. (Ordre de Saint
Benoît) [23.7 Mb]
Série H, t. 2. Archives ecclésiastiques. Clergé régulier. (Autres ordres
d'hommes et abbaye de femmes de Saint-Avit) [16.9 Mb]
Série H, t. 3. Archives ecclésiastiques. Clergé régulier. (Abbayes et
couvents de femmes) [22.7 Mb]
these are wonderfully clear, OCRed .pdfs, searchable and mark-&-pasteable with
relatively few errors.
and Archive.org has links to a large number of items, on Books.Google.com,
starting here:
http://www.archive.
org/search.php?query=eure-et-loir%20AND%20mediatype%3Atexts
including too-hard-to-find early volumes of the local Societé's Memoires and
Proces-Verbaux.
Archive.org also has links to Souchet's Histoire de Chartres, the cartulary of
the cathedral and Lucien Merlet's
wonderful Dictionnaire topographique de l'Eure-et-Loir.
Gallica also has volumes of these publications of the SAEL
http://gallica. bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb344279215/date.r=eure-et-loir.langEN
http://gallica. bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb344279157/date.r=eure-et-loir.langEN
the quality of the Gallica scans has greatly improved over the last few years
and they are now probably quite superior to the older Google scans, which are
often quite crappy (a technical term meaning... well, crappy).
Gallica also has 13 vols of the Bulletin of the Soc. Dunois (the region around
Chateaudun)
http://gallica. bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb34375323k/date.r=eure-et-loir.langEN
with persistence a young fellow can build up quite a library of digital copies
on home-burned CDs, if he's not careful.
