The consultation of Heritage collections is chiefly meant for extended, long-term research. It can also respond to short-term research, especially in case of not being able to find a document in other libraries.
Master and postgraduate students, higher education teachers, Phd holders or tenure professors, journalists and scientific staff of archives, heritage monuments and libraries may register directly online or on-site at the Inscription desk. They will need to provide proof of research upon retrieving their pass.
BA level students or any person with a personnal or professional research project may get a Research Pass upon presentation of justificatory documents during an interview with the Inscription Service at the François-Mitterrand or Richelieu libraries. This interview will determine the researches inscription and the validity pf the Research opass (1 day, 5 days, illimited).
Attention! The inscription Service closes at 7 pm. No Pass can be delivered past this time.
