Fondation Napoléon

The Fondation Napoléon (English: Napoleon Foundation) is a registered French non-profit organization established on 12 November 1987. It supports academic research and public understanding of the First French Empire and the Second French Empire.

The foundation’s scope also encompasses the periods of the French Directory and the Consulate, during which Napoleon Bonaparte served as First Consul after the Coup of 18 Brumaire.

The foundation is headed by Victor-André Masséna, Prince of Essling, and its director since 2000 has been historian Thierry Lentz.

In 2002, the foundation launched the project to publish Napoleon's complete correspondence, which includes over 41,000 letters. It also contributes to the preservation of historical sites. The foundation runs a bilingual website and maintains a digital library, with over 13,000 historical volumes accessible to the public. It also publishes ''Napoleonica'', an international journal on Napoleonic history. Provided by Wikipedia
