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.

The French national archives (Archives Nationales) and the Fondation Napoléon have joined forces to restore and make available to the general public the little-known treasures held amongst the Imperial State Secretariat papers, namely: the 1,800 plans, drawings and maps presented to Napoleon to enable his decision making, whether for decrees, bills or studies requiring his signature.
This is an international appeal to raise the funds needed to match those already allocated by the Archives Nationales.
Development in higher education with the ‘Chaire Napoléon’
The Fondation Napoléon has set up a ‘Chaire Napoléon’ at the Institut Catholique d’Etudes Secondaire in La Roche-sur-Yon. As well has running a course on the Consulate and the Empire for second year History undergraduates, the ‘Chaire Napoléon’ organises lectures and study days for the general public.
