Abstract
The relative question to the first uses of the concrete as a material of construction in the domain of building in Algeria, and especially in the city of Tlemcen, is the heart of the work that we intend to publish. The objective of this research is to illustrate the history of the evolution of the use of material concrete in the domain of construction in the city of Tlemcen. The applied methodology is to collect all information relative to the projects of construction made on concrete in the period spanning from 1892 to 2005 from the archives of the township of Tlemcen, and therefore, reach a bank of data that gathers all information referring to every project of construction in concrete, whose exploitation drove us to distinguish five periods where the processes of construction knew a certain number of evolutions, notably in relation to the historicity of the use of the material concrete. Moreover, inserting this bank of data in a card which situates the city of Tlemcen and while appropriating an adequate software to it, we were able to reach all information concerning the date of the project, society of realization, the materials of construction and processes, graphic documentation, etc. Key words: Archives, concrete, card, history, Tlemcen.
Highlights
Humanity, through its evolution, used materials of construction, susceptible to offer comfort, aesthetics, suppleness, stability, resistance and durability to the achieved works, progressively (Torrenti et al, 1999; Dubois, 2005)

How did humans live with this change? Was this material ever adopted quickly or did it give its proofs a long time ago? What is the process in the history of this material that drove to the fantastic development for it to be used more in the world of construction? What were the conditions for its development? Numerous questions on the history of the use of this enigmatic material are observed and they deserve to be clarified
Summary
Through its evolution, used materials of construction, susceptible to offer comfort, aesthetics, suppleness, stability, resistance and durability to the achieved works, progressively (Torrenti et al, 1999; Dubois, 2005). What is the process in the history of this material that drove to the fantastic development for it to be used more in the world of construction? To bring some answers to the calm questions, we collected some information available to the service of the archives of the town hall of Tlemcen in order to identify the process of construction that was adopted, as well as the different used materials, with the goal of characterizing chronologically, the evolution of the use of the material concrete in construction in Tlemcen
