Legacy & Heritage

The team of the "heritage and archives" division is in charge of the description, conservation and promotion of the heritage collections. It is also responsible for the cataloguing, management and conservation of the archives and heritage belonging to the School and on deposit at the School.

History of our collections 

The origin of the collections dates back to the 18th century, thanks to donations from Jean-Rodolphe Perronet, the  first director of the School, by Pierre-Charles Lesage, director of studies, and by Gaspard Riche de Prony. They also include scientific and technical books from the 16th-18th centuries, some seized during the revolutionary period and others from miscellaneous donations.
