From January to March 2026, the Bibliothèque patrimoniale du Collège de France will be hosting an exhibition to mark the 40th anniversary of the death of Fernand Braudel (1902-1985), Professor of the History of Modern Civilization (1950-1972). Through a selection of archives and works, the exhibition retraces the historian's scientific life from the 1930s to the tributes paid to him, including his election to the Collège de France and the creation of the EHESS.
