Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study the experience of France in consolidation of digital resources of national archives and libraries based on researching relevant web pages, which contain consolidated resources. The methodology of the research involves using general scientific methods (critical analysis &synthesis of information). This has helped to look closely into the structure of digital resources presented on web pages and understand better the way they are consolidated. Scientific novelty of this paper is that it has studied the current state and achievements of France in the field of digital resources of institutions of social memory integration and outlines the approaches to integration of archives and libraries. Conclusions. The deep analysis of the web pages of consolidated digital resources of Archives Nationales of France, Network of Libraries of Galicia & Bibliotheque nationale de France has showed the constant development of the cultural and historical institutions of France towards increasing the number of digitalised resources, as well as making the access to them by large number of users easier. Moreover, a consolidation of the digital resources within chosen institutions’ web pages is evident. One of the ways this consolidation is achieved is integration(aggregation) of the relevant data within one web-portal or - as a possibility - placing a link to one of the partners’ web pages. Therefore, the above-mentioned solutions allow the aggregation and growth of national historical-cultural heritage not only within the country borders, but also on the worldwide scale.
