MINES Paris - Archives du fonds patrimonial

The archives of MINES Paris and the private collections they receive are kept in the heritage collections of the libraries at the Paris and Fontainebleau sites. They bear witness to the life of the school, founded in 1783, and contribute to research in the history of education and science, as well as genealogical research. Their riches are showcased through exhibitions and on the digital heritage library, where inventories and digitized collections are gradually being made available online, including the Elie de Beaumont and Gillet de Laumont collections, laboratory collections, and student travel journals.
