The first and third terms refer to the same thing; the archives of
the Collettine houses of France, which are held in the monastery at
Poligny. The middle one refers to the archives of the convent at
Amiens, which no longer exists, which are now kept in the general
archive at Poligny. This is a private archive, not a public research
library, so you need to get permission from the Sisters at Poligny to
consult it. I had their address once, but that was several
generations of address-books ago. You might be able to get to them
via the French Franciscan web-site:

The Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes in Paris has the
contents of the archive on microfilm, but you still need the nuns'
permission to consult it.
Best of luck with your research,
Jan Pinder
