Work on presenting the villages of Lower NavarreFurther to a request by the Public University of Navarre, the BCI undertook a presentation of villages in the historic province of Lower Navarre.  Former view of the village of Béhorléguy (private archives) 75 municipalities in Lower Navarre were studied, ie. approx. 90 former parishes (certain villages are grouped together like Arraute-Charrite, for example). The presentation includes a written description of approximately 675 pages. It is sometimes complemented by historic documents and various plans (villages, old buildings that were destroyed, etc). The presentation is also amended with bibliographical and monographic references corresponding to 200 works, and sometimes even web links. This research lasting 6 months was carried out by Bixente Lohiague. It involved studying in depth and summarising some thirty books, articles and other documents (whether published or not) of different types (archaeological, architectural, historical, geological, etc.). This study would not have been possible without the help of around a hundred referees, local councillors and scientists, as well as local inhabitants with an extensive knowledge of oral tradition and village life.  Bixente Lohiague, the author of the collection Bixente Lohiague carried out almost 4500 photos (villages, streets, heritage) in addition to 2900 former photos which he collected: ethnographical items, family photos, village photos, etc. All this material will soon be available for consultation at www.eke.org and also at www.navarchivo.com. In the meanwhile here is a list of the municipalities studied (photograph and GPS) : Bixente Lohiague's collection from village to village Collecting work in the municipalities was carried out on behalf of the Basque Cultural Institute by Bixente Lohiague, from Hasparren. He presents his work in an interview dated February 2009. Municipalities studied
