Digitized collections

Named in homage to François 1^st, founder of the Collège de France, of which this animal was the emblem, Salamandre is both the digital heritage library and the catalog of the Collège de France archives.

The digital heritage library features several thematic collections, each of which brings together a corpus from the archives and libraries, in different subject areas : experimental sciences, anthropology, archaeology, etc. Salamandre provides access to digital versions of early works, archival documents (manuscripts, plans, drawings), photographs (mainly from the XIX^th  century) and videos, relating to the work of professors and the history of the Collège de France. New documents are added regularly. Videos of lectures are gradually being subtitled.

Conditions for reuse of digitized documents are specified in the Legal Notice section.

Salamandre has been created and put on line in partnership with the Collège de France Foundation and the Fondation de l'Orangerie.

The Collège de France's institutional photo library features over 11 000 photographs tracing the activities of the Collège de France and all its constituent parts. It includes portraits of all active professors, all honorary professors since 2000, and some of the professors who held professorships in the XX^th  century.

The site also features photographs of France's real estate and movable assets (buildings, statues, scientific instruments), as well as events such as colloquia, opening lectures, seminars and official visits in the XX^th and XXI^st  century.

Conditions for re-use of photographs are specified in the Legal Notice section.
