For more than 20 years, the Louis Roederer Foundation has supported the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France’s major missions: enrich its collections and photographs, make them accessible to researchers and the general public and also promote them. Supporting the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France means protecting our heritage, ensuring that knowledge is shared and encouraging agile thinking.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Long-term support for photography<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n

With its beginnings stretching back to medieval royal libraries, the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France boasts one of the world’s largest collections comprising forty million texts as well as maps, engravings, furniture, costumes and much else besides. Among its manifold treasures are 6 million photographs, from the first print made in 1851 to the most contemporary photography works. <\/p>\n

Such a wealth of images needs promotion and so in 2003 the Louis Roederer House became a partner to the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France. Today, it provides support through the Foundation. To start the ball rolling it helped the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France open the Galerie de la Photographie to serve as an exhibition room.<\/p>\n

Alongside creating a research grant for photography to document the institution’s holdings, the Foundation has supported a number of exhibitions spanning the history and genres of this art form.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
