Abstract
A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FOR THE SOCIAL REPRODUCTION OF THE DE PURY FAMILY IN NEUCHÂTEL: BETWEEN EMIGRATION AND PHILANTHROPY (1770-1920) – This article delves into a lesser-known aspect of the social self-perpetuation of Switzerland's prominent patrician families: the 'Caisses de famille' (Family Funds). Established during the Ancien Régime, these financial institutions enabled the accumulation and growth of collective capital through profitable market transactions. The interest generated was reinvested in the education and training of young family members, particularly through migration experiences abroad. They also contributed to local philanthropic activities, often aligned with family interests. The specific case of the 'Caisse de Famille de Pury' in Neuchâtel is examined here using the family’s accounting records over a 150-year period, from 1770 to 1920.
