Provenance Information on French Library Collections
Led by the Bibliothèque de l'Institut de France in partnership with the bibliothèque de la Cour de cassation, the Bibliothèque Mazarine, the bibliothèque du Ministère des Affaires étrangères, the Bibliothèques municipales de Besançon, de Lyon et de Nancy, the Réserve des livres rares at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, the CESR, the Centre Gabriel Naudé, the Institut d'histoire du livre and the Service commun de documentation du CNAM (Pôle patrimoine), this project will develop a joint online tool that draws together provenance information on the manuscripts and printed books (primarily those printed between 1450 and 1830) held at regional, university and specialised libraries in France.
