History
The École des Chartes was created by order of Louis XVIII on 22 February 1821,[2] although its roots
are in the Revolution and the Napoleonic period. The Revolution, during which property was
confiscated, congregations were suppressed and competencies were transferred from the Church to
the State, produced radical cultural changes. In 1793 the feudist Antoine Maugard approached the
public instruction committee of the Convention with a proposal for a project of historical and
diplomatic education. The project was never carried out, and Maugard was largely forgotten.[3] The
institution was finally created by the philologist and anthropologist Joseph Marie de Gérando, baron
of the Empire and general secretary to Champagny, the Minister of the Interior. In 1807 he submitted
a proposal to Napoleon for the creation of a school to train young scholars of history.[4] Napoleon
examined the proposal and declared that he wished to develop a much larger specialist history
school.[5] However, Gérando was posted to Italy on an administrative mission, and the project was
interrupted. At the end of 1820, Gérando convinced Count Siméon, a philosopher and professor of
law who had been state councilor under the Empire and who was at that time Minister of the Interior,
of the usefulness of an institution modeled on the grandes écoles, dedicated to the study of "a branch
of French literature",[6] the charters. The 1820s were a favorable period for the creation of the École
des Chartes. This was firstly because the atmosphere of nostalgia for the Middle Ages created a desire
to train specialists who would, by carrying out a direct study of archives and manuscripts confiscated
during the Revolution, be able to renew French historiography. Secondly, the need was also felt to
maintain this branch of study, which stemmed from Maurist tradition, since the field was endangered
by a lack of knowledgeable collaborators in the "science of charters and manuscripts". And thirdly,
during the reign of Louis XVIII, a period which saw the return of the Ultras and during which the
constitutional monarchy was called into question, the political context influenced the creation of an
institution whose name inevitably made explicit reference to the defense of the Charter.[7]
Under the order of 1821, twelve students were nominated by the Minister of the Interior, based on
propositions by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres,[8] and they were paid[9] during the
two years of their studies. They principally studied paleography and philology, with a purely practical
aim: to be able to read and understand the documents that they would be responsible for curating.[10]
The professors and students of the school were placed under the authority of the curator of medieval
manuscripts of the Royal Library, rue de Richelieu, and of the general guard of the Archives of the
Kingdom.[11]
This first experience was not very successful, mainly because no job openings were reserved for the
students. The first course was implemented in two stages by the ministerial decree of 11 May (for the
Royal Library course) and by the decree of 21 December 1821 (for the Archives of the Kingdom
course), and was the only one run. The Académie did put forward a new list of candidates,[12] and the
course length was set at two years[13] by the Order of 16 July 1823, but lessons had to be suspended
on 19 December 1823 due to a lack of students. However, following a long period of inactivity, the
Ministry of the Interior decided to re-open the school. Rives, the director of staff of the ministry,
together with Dacier, drew up a report on the reorganization of the School and a draft order,[14]
proposed to Charles X by La Bourdonnaye, which resulted in the order of 11 November 1829.[15] The
school was now open to anyone who had acquired the Baccalaureate, but six to eight students were
selected by competitive examination at the end of the first year. They received a salary and followed
two further years of training. On completion of their studies, they received the qualification of
archivist-paleographer and were reserved half of the available jobs in libraries and archives. The first
valedictorian was Alexandre Teulet.
The "Guizot period" benefited the École des Chartes, which soon became
an important institution in the field of historical – particularly medieval
– studies. On 24 March 1839 the Société de l’École des Chartes[16] was
founded by Louis Douët d'Arcq, among others, and it published the
Bibliothèque de l'École des Chartes, one of the oldest French scientific
reviews, to disseminate the work carried out in the school. The Order of
31 December 1846[17] implemented a fundamental reorganization of the
school and its study program, which then remained unchanged for more
than a century. The students, who were holders of the Baccalaureate,
were recruited by examination (which shortly afterwards became a
competitive examination), and followed a three-year course of studies.
Interdisciplinarity, an essential characteristic of the school, was then
written into the reform, which required students to study six subjects,
The Hôtel de Clisson and
some of which were not taught anywhere else. The second innovation, a
entrance to the École des
thesis, was introduced, with the first public defense being held in 1849.
Chartes from 1846 to 1866
A surveillance council was set up, consisting of the guard of the
Archives, the director of the Royal Library, the director of the School
and five members of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.
The school was finally provided with a new statute. It moved to the
Kingdom Archives in the hôtel de Soubise, in the oval hall and adjacent
rooms of the hôtel de Clisson.
By now, the École des Chartes had

become a point of reference in
Europe.[18] Its historical research
methodology had been greatly
modernized, as had its teaching
methods, thanks to the copies of
ancient documents to which it had
access. The students were taught
paleography, sigillography, The new building of the
numismatics, philology, filing for École, located 65, rue de

archives and libraries, historical
geography, currencies, systems of
weights and measures, the history of
political institutions in France, archeology, civil law, canonic law and feudal law. The teaching had
both a scientific and a professional aim.
Thus, by gradually integrating into the network of royal then national and departmental archive
services, the graduates of the school contributed to the densification of the network and to the
improvement of archivist principles. A pathway for the graduates was thus established in the
archives, first implemented by the Order of 31 December 1846, then reinforced by a legislative
framework providing them with a means to enforce this law. The decree of 4 February 1850 reserved
the posts of departmental archivist to those holding the qualification of archivist-paleographer,[19]
while all the positions at the National Archives (except that of senior civil servant) were reserved for
them by the decree of 14 May 1887. The same could not be said of libraries. The order of 1839[20] was
never applied, and although the order of 1839 reserved places at the Royal Library for École des
Chartes graduates, fewer than 7% of them worked in a library in 1867.[21] It was not until the end of
the Second Empire, partly thanks to the work of Léopold Delisle, the general administrator of the
national library, that the qualifications of the school's graduates were recognized by libraries.[22]
Little by little, decrees and orders facilitated their access to jobs in libraries.
The school moved in 1866 into more suitable premises in the hôtel de Breteuil, rue des Francs-
Bourgeois, without this move having much effect on the teaching. Seven professorships were
instituted by the decree of 30 January 1869: paleography; Latin languages; bibliography; filing for
libraries and archives; diplomacy; political, administrative and judiciary institutions in France; civil
and canonic law of the Middle Ages and archeology of the Middle Ages. Apart from minor
modifications, these remained unchanged until 1955. The school moved once again in 1897, to 19 rue
de la Sorbonne, into the premises originally intended for the Paris Faculté de théologie catholique.
This move brought the school geographically closer to the other research and teaching institutions
based at the Sorbonne, such as the Faculté de lettres and the École pratique des hautes études. The
school had a classroom, with windows along both sides and special deep desks for paleography
practice, as well as a library, in which books were available for immediate access.[23] Although the
premises have been refurbished, the school is still located here today. During the 1920s, a number of
moves to other premises were proposed,[24] with suggestions including the hôtel de Rohan in 1924,
the garden of the Institution for Deaf-Mutes (suggested by Michel Roux-Spitz), a plot on rue Notre-
Dame-des-Champs, a house on rue de Vaugirard, the former Polytechnic School, and the refectory of
the Bernardins. The school will move in 2015 to the Richelieu area, into new premises at 65 rue de
Richelieu and 12 rue des Petits-Champs. The school was also a founding member of the Campus
Condorcet,[25] and for this reason, some of its research activities were conducted at the Aubervilliers
campus.
The image of the École des Chartes, in political and social terms, was firmly anchored, even though it
has sometimes been classified as a right-wing institution.[26] The image of the "right-wing chartiste"
originated in the figure of the "amateur", the son of a well-off family, passing through the school to
kill time elegantly, or to "wait", in the words of Robert Martin du Gard,[27] who graduated from the
school in 1905. In fact, throughout the 19th century there was a discontinuity between the high-
prestige training offered by the École des Chartes and the lower-prestige, modestly remunerated jobs
open to graduates. However, this reputation was at least partly unfounded, as demonstrated by
several cases. At the time of the Dreyfus Affair,[28] for example, the milieu of the École des Chartes
mirrored the divisions in French society: "Nowhere were civic quarrels more completely invested in
the job of historian."[29] The few chartistes who were called upon as experts during the Zola trial –
Arthur Giry, Auguste Molinier, Paul Meyer, Paul Viollet and Gaston Paris – and who were involved in
the founding of the League of Human Rights were attacked by other archivist-paleographers,
including Robert de Lasteyrie, Gabriel Hanotaux and Émile Couard, as well as by their students at the
École des Chartes. The variety of engagements at the time of the Dreyfus Affair did not necessarily
reflect the political sensitivities of those involved, and their motives were political as well as
professional, jeopardizing the very training and methods of the school.[30] Although it was
conservative to some extent, the school admitted a female student, Geneviève Acloque, in 1906, long
before the other grandes écoles had started admitting women. The École des Chartes may have been
perceived as a bastion of the French Action during the interwar period, although several relatively
prominent alumni, such as Georges Bataille or Roger Martin du Gard, seem to have been more left-
leaning. During the Second World War, there were therefore more École des Chartes students and
teachers on the side of the Resistance than on the side of Vichy. Bertrand Joly concludes that the
school was largely neutral, in that each "wing" seems to have been equally represented, a neutrality
that was also justified by the fact that the school was not big enough for its members to have a
significant effect on national politics.
The entrance examination and internal examinations of the École des Chartes were reformed at the
beginning of the 1930s.[31] At this time,[32] the school began offering the qualification of diplôme
technique de bibliothécaire (DTB) 34, which was required to obtain a job as a librarian in first-
category municipal libraries or university libraries. The school opened its classes on the history of
books and bibliography to external students preparing for the qualification. This practice continued
until 1950, when the diplôme supérieur de bibliothécaire (DSB) replaced the DTB as the qualification
for librarians.
The mid-20th century was a difficult period for the school as it struggled to modernize. Its student
numbers dropped sharply (there were only 11 archivist-paleographers in the class of 1959[33]). Its
training was considered to be outdated and lacking in the latest approaches to history, notably the
historiographic revival of the Annales School.[34] It was not until the 1990s, when the entrance
examination and teaching were reformed and a new policy was introduced, that the school really saw
a revival. It entered a period of development under the direction of Yves-Marie Bercé (1992–2001)
and Anita Guerreau-Jalabert (2001–2006). The current development of the school is based on solid
training in new technologies and their application to the conservation of cultural heritage, and closer,
more structured links with French universities and similar institutions in other European countries.
The teaching has also been restructured to be better suited to the current demands of scientific
research and evolution in conservation jobs. This approach will be introduced gradually as of the
academic year 2014-15.
Since the current director, Jean-Michel Leniaud, took up his post in 2011, the school has once more
reformed its entrance examination to focus student recruitment on the specifics of the training, while
also expanding the training to a broader field of human and social sciences, adapting it to the
European context and recruitment conditions within conservation organizations. The range of
subjects taught, which was expanded in the 1990s to include history of art, now also includes
archeology, history of contemporary law, and history of property law. The course has been extended
from three years to three years and nine months, aligning training in fundamental scientific
techniques with empowerment in conservation jobs. In no other social and human sciences
institution is the study of history, philology and law integrated to this extent into the conservation of
archives, books monuments and works of art, be they inventories, historic monuments or museums.
As well as improving the recruitment process and upgrading the training of future archivist-
paleographers, the school has introduced specialized Master's programs focusing on digital
technologies adapted to the humanities. It has recently introduced a continuing training service that
takes into account the validation des acquis de l'expérience (VAE) (a certification accrediting work
experience). The school's collaboration with the Établissement Public de Coopération Scientific
(Campus Condorcet Paris-Aubervilliers), the ComUE heSam University and the Sorbonne
Universities demonstrates the new directions that it has taken in recent years. To this end, it has
modernized its administration, implemented ambitious communications programs and established a
new campus opposite the National Library on rue de Richelieu. It is thus preparing to fulfill as
effectively as possible the public service role assigned to it by the government.
Missions
The École nationale des Chartes is regulated by the statute of 27 January 1984, modified by statute
no. 2013-660 of 22 July 2013 which relates to higher education and research. Article 3 of decree no.
87-832 of 8 October 1897 modified by decree no. 2005-1751 of 30 December 2005 defines the
missions of the school as follows:
The mission of the École nationale des Chartes is to

provide training for the scientific staff of archives and
libraries. It trains those who contribute to scientific
knowledge and the protection of national heritage. It
engages in the training and research of students in
the human and social sciences, particularly in
disciplines relating to critical study, exploitation,
conservation and communication of historic sources.
Organization
The governing bodies are composed of the director of the School,
the administrative council and the scientific council. The director
is selected from among the directors of studies of the École
pratique des hautes études, the École nationale des Chartes and
the École française d'Extrême-Orient, or from among professors
of the universities and members of affiliated institutions. The
director is appointed by decree of the President of the Republic
for a term of five years, renewable once under the conditions of
article. The director is assisted by a director of studies and a
general director of services. The administrative council,[35]

elected members, three of whom are teachers, two of whom are
IATOS (non-teaching staff) and two of whom are students. The
scientific council37, headed by the director of the School, includes all the teachers who are directors
of studies, as well as other unelected members. It also includes fifteen appointed members, five of
whom are members of the Institute, as well as an elected teacher and a student representative. The
Paris URFIST (an inter-academic research and training body) and the Committee of Historical and
Scientific Work are affiliated with the l'École des Chartes.

Entrance examinations
French students are recruited by competitive examination

prepared in literary-oriented classes préparatoires in and
outside Paris. Since 1991, it has been divided into two sections: The director's office
Section A, "Classics". This includes, among other subjects,

medieval history, modern history and Latin. Studies at the School require fluency in Latin.
Section B, "Modern". This is part of the École normale supérieure's banque d'epreuves littéraires
(BEL), a set of entrance examinations valid for several schools, and includes modern history,
contemporary history and modern languages among its subjects.
Students prepare for the entrance examination in dedicated classes préparatoires, the first year of
which is known as "hypoChartes" and the second year "Chartes". Depending on the school, students
preparing for examination A and those preparing for examination B may be grouped into a single
cohort with different options, or they may be divided into two different cohorts. Those preparing for
Section B can be grouped into khâgnes with additional options. Candidates who can provide proof of
at least a bachelor's degree in theory may take an examination to be allowed to proceed directly into
the second year. This examination is aimed at candidates who are already conducting research at an
advanced level. There is now a limit on the number of candidates taking the entrance examination. It
was reduced from 30 to 20 in three years, which was lower than the number of jobs available to
graduates of the school ( in archives, libraries, museums, etc.).
Status of the students
Students recruited by competitive examination can assume the

status of trainee civil servants, being paid (currently
approximately €1250/month net) in exchange for committing to
a ten-year engagement. Those who pass the examination may
choose whether or not to accept this status. Foreign students who
are recruited by examination or on the basis of qualifications
(according to the international selection procedure) are not
remunerated while they follow the course, although they can

floor of the library
The course duration is three years and nine months 38. At the
end of their studies, the students submit a thesis, which qualifies
them as archivist-paleographers.
Those who have fulfilled their third-year obligations can apply for two écoles d'application: the École
nationale supérieure des sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques (Enssib,reserved competitive
examination[36]) and the Institut national du patrimoine (INP). Following their studies in these
schools, they may join the professions of either curators of libraries or curators of heritage. Each year,
a number of students sit the INP's examination in the visual branches (Museums, Historic
Monuments and Inventories) or the agrégation examination (History, Classic or Modern Letters and
Grammar), thus following either a research-oriented or a teaching-oriented career path.
Training and teaching
The course takes place over eight semesters, of which six are dedicated to teaching. As well as a
common core of subjects, students choose options according to their scientific and professional
objectives. These options can be taken externally through a university. Internships play an important
role, with a five-month compulsory internship in an institution in the field of conservation (e.g.
archives, libraries, museums, or heritage or archeological services) in France, and three months in a
similar institution abroad. The principal subjects studied are:[37]
Latin and French paleography (plus other languages in seminars)

archiving, diplomacy and history of the institutions that have produced these archives (medieval,
modern and contemporary)
history of civil and canon law
history of contemporary law
Roman philology
medieval Latin
history of art (medieval, modern and contemporary)
archeology
editing of texts
bibliography
history of books
manuscripts and medieval literary texts
statistics and cartography for the study of history
modern languages and IT
ECTS credits are allocated to the subjects, making it possible for students from universities or other
grandes écoles to follow some of them and for the subjects to be included in the external students'
Master's qualifications. This is made possible by the new LMD reform, which harmonizes French
academic qualifications with other European ones. Classes are also open to independent auditors.
Master's
In 2006 the École des Chartes introduced a Master's program in

Digital Technologies Applied to History, and has since then
trained approximately 20 students per year.[38] In the first year,
all students take the same basic modules plus three options
(archiving, history of books and media, and history of art). The
first year of the Master's is a continuance of the École des Chartes
undergraduate training. In the second year, students follow more
specialized training in the field of IT applied to webcasting. There

dissemination of knowledge in a heritage service.
In 2011, the École des Chartes introduced a further two Master's

courses. The first, in Medieval Studies, is offered in partnership with the École normale supérieure,
the University of Paris III and the University of Paris IV. Its aim is to "provide training in literary
research for medieval texts, with an interdisciplinary approach in the context of specialization in the
Middle Ages". The second, run in partnership with the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay and the
Institut national de l'audiovisuel, is in Audiovisual Design: Plurimedial Representations of History,
Society and Science. It aims to "train designers and makers of audiovisual documentaries (for
cinema, television, radio and internet) as well as creators and heads of multimedia sites operating in
the written press and publishing".
Doctorate
The École nationale des Chartes awards doctorates in the subjects that it teaches. Any student
holding a master's degree, whether or not it was awarded by the École des Chartes, can apply to enroll
in a doctoral program at the school. The doctorate is prepared through two collaborating doctoral
schools: the École pratique des hautes études (for doctorates in medieval history, history of art,
archeology, Roman philology and Latin) and the Paris Sorbonne University (for doctorates in modern
and contemporary history).
The Institut national du patrimoine's classe préparatoire intégrée

The École des Chartes provides part of the preparation for the competitive examination for heritage
curators (archive specialization) for students of the INP's classe préparatoire intégrée. These
students are selected on the basis of social and academic criteria.
Research
Most of the professors at the École nationale des Chartes are affiliated to the Centre Jean-Mabillon,
the École's research unit, whose director is currently Olivier Poncet. The aim of the centre's research
program to cover all the processes that explain and publicize the written production from the Middle
Ages to the present, through various stages:
the conditions of production (axis 1: the cultures of writing from the Middle Ages to the 21st
century)
the mechanisms of heritage transmission (axis 2: genesis and tradition

of written heritage: author, institutions, laws, study, etc.)
the conditions of returning of this historic documentation to the scientific
community (axis 3: epistemology and the norms of editing texts and
images in the digital age)
A significant part of the school's research activity is the theses of the

students, whose fields of studies have diversified over the years and now
relate to all periods of history, notably contemporary.[39]
Partnerships
Partnerships with other institutions
form one of the central policies of

the current administration, which
collaborates closely with the École
pratique des hautes études, the
Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes and the Centre
d'études superieures de civilisation médiévale of the University of
Poitiers to create the École d'Érudition en réseau. The École des
Chartes is also part of the Institut d'histoire du livre together with
the City of Lyon (its municipal library and Museum of printing
works), the École normale supérieure of Lyon and the Enssib.
The École des Chartes also collaborates with other higher

education establishments in Paris to form the ComUE heSam
University, the ComUE Sorbonne Universities and the Campus
Condorcet Paris-Aubervilliers.
The school also has partnerships with institutions outside

France, such as the Russian State Archives, a number of Moscow A scanner in the library, available for
libraries, the University of Alicante, and Italian research centers students' use
45. The school takes in a number of foreign students, who are
often Swiss, Belgian or from francophone African countries, and
is currently seeking to attract new students for shorter stays, through partnerships with universities.
The school's students are also regularly invited to do internships in archives or libraries in other
countries.
The library
The library was created by the order of 31 December 1846. At the time it occupied one of the two
rooms reserved for the school in the hôtel de Soubise. The library moved with the school in 1897, and
since then has occupied the second floor (reading room and history room), third floor (Horseshoe
Room) and fourth floor (offices and store rooms in the attic).
In 1920, the management of the library was taken over by the secretary of the school, who at the time
was René Poupardin. Today it is managed by a library curator.
It was designed as a research library. Its collections are particularly well supplied in the subjects
taught at the school: medieval history, philology, history of books, bibliography, etc. The collections
(around 150,000 volumes) are all available for immediate access. The catalogue is available
online.[40] Many electronic resources are also available.
Due to lack of space at the Sorbonne, the library will move in 2016 to 12 rue des Petits-Champs, into
much larger premises.
Dissemination of knowledge
The École nationale des Chartes disseminates scientific works in its fields of specialization, in printed
and electronic format. It has published four collections of works in printed format :
Mémoires et Documents, a collection dating from 1896, consisting of monographs, most notably
the theses of École des Chartes alumni
Études et Rencontres, a collection begun in 1998, principally consisting of the minutes of
scientific meetings
Matériaux pour l'Histoire, a collection inaugurated in 1996, consisting of richly illustrated quarto
volumes
Études et documents for a Gallia Pontificia, a collection jointly edited by the École nationale des
Chartes and the German Historical Institute of Paris since 2009 with the aim of presenting the
work carried out as part of the Gallia Pontificia, a scientific enterprise that aims to identify, publish
and study the papal acts concerning France dating from before 1198
The École des Chartes also publishes two periodic publications relating to the training it offers :
Abstracts of theses submitted by students to obtain their qualification of archivist-paleographer,

published annually by the École des Chartes since 1849. Since 2000, they have also been
available online
Hypotheses. Works of the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne doctoral school of history and
the École nationale des Chartes, co-edited by the École nationale des Chartes and Sorbonne
publications since 2010
These works are disseminated by CID-FMSH, through the Comptoir des presses de l'université. Since
2002, the École des Chartes has also published scientific works in electronic format in its online
collection of publications, the Éditions en ligne de l'École des Chartes (ELEC). This gives scientific
works digital functions and brings together repertoires and databases as well as texts, in a format that
is more suited than printed versions to detailed examination. This collection is completed by :
corpora of text made available online for research purposes, unedited by the École des charts
teaching materials, available on the THELEME website
a space for presentation of the IT tools and methods developed by the École des Chartes
These materials are under open license.
The school develops its scientific and teaching work through several initiatives, including the
Thélème website 48, which offers materials supporting the subjects taught at the school, such as
educational packs, advice, lessons, and interactive facsimiles.
École des Chartes publications

The École des Chartes also publishes numerous works, in both paper and electronic format. The
Mémoires et documents de l'École des Chartes are monographs, many of them drawn from École des
Chartes theses or doctoral research. The first of these was published in 1896 and they are distributed
by Honoré Champion and Droz. Two more collections, the Études et rencontres (minutes of
conventions and brief monographs) and Matériaux pour l'histoire (illustrated large-format albums),
have been created more recently. ELEC is also responsible for the school's online publications, which
include databases, editions of texts, minutes of symposia, bibliographies, and studies.
The Société de l'École des Chartes

The Société de l'École des Chartes is a registered as a public-interest association which students and
alumni can join. Its current president is Marie-Françoise Limon-Bonnet, who was elected in 2018.
Twice a year, the Société publishes the Bibliothèque de l'École des Chartes with the support of the
École. This scientific review, founded in 1839, is one of the oldest in France.

Some biographers, perhaps overgeneralizing, also use the term chartiste to refer to certain French
historians, such as La Villemarqué, Achille Jubinal, Pierre Lalo and Louis Madelin, or foreign
historians, such as Alfred Métraux, K. J. Conant or Aleksander Gieysztor, who audited some of the
lessons at the École des Chartes, or to Auguste Poulet-Malassis, José-Maria de Heredia and François
Mauriac, who were registered as students but who never completed their studies.
