Gabriel Naudé Centre
As a history research centre, the Gabriel Naudé Centre also hosts research on the history of science and technology, particularly in terms of epistemology and social studies, as well as sociology.
The unique nature of research conducted in France is based on a recognised tradition in the history of books and publishing. The field of research has expanded to include the history of libraries in modern and contemporary times, as well as the impact of new technologies on the use of the written word and cultural institutions. The history of libraries is integrated into the knowledge of the evolution of public policies and cultural practices.
The Gabriel Naudé Centre is identified in France as a leading laboratory in the field of the retrospective description of printed works.
