Development of the Fondation Napoléon’s digital library
At the start of 2010, the Fondation Napoléon put the first volumes of its digital library online. These volumes come from the Fondation’s collection, and include rare works, reference books, almanachs, maps, and previously unfindable documents. They are made available for free to the public in the Digital Libray section of the website.
International appeal for the restoration of Napoleonic monuments at he Hotel national des Invalides
For the bicentenary of Napoleon I’s death on 5 May 2021, the Musée de l’Armée and the Fondation Napoléon are joining forces to launch an international subscription to help restore, at the Hôtel National des Invalides, the monuments associated with the Emperor and his brothers Joseph, King of Naples and later of Spain, and Jerome, King of Westphalia and later Governor of Les Invalides. The operation will also include the tombslabs from St Helena now in “le Jardin de l’Intendant”, and the Chapelle Napoléon, rarely seen by the public.
The restoration and refurbishment of these monuments will be part of a larger “Napoleon Season”, in 2021, which will include a major exhibition, concerts, talks and many other events. What’s more, all of this will be open to the public.
