Wurth-Pacquet was the founding President of Luxembourg's Archaeological Association, the forerunner of the Historical Section of the Grand Ducal Institute. He held that office from 1845 until 1853, when he entered government, and again from 1876 until his death in 1885.
In the publications of this institution, he made inventories of old Luxembougish documents, also publishing extracts. He managed to examine 18,000 documents, and also copies of 60,000 documents from abroad. He granted this collection to the Institute after his death. He also helped established what has now become the National Museum of History and Art.
He died in 1885 in Luxembourg City.
Wurth-Pacquet's daughter was Hélène Wurth, who married into the Brasseur family. Her husband, Pierre Brasseur, was a mining magnate that founded the company that would later become ARBED. The couple in turn had five children, including politician Xavier Brasseur.
