It was originally created and directed in 1932 by Edouard Driault,
Ph. D. in history, who was also the founder of the Revue des Etudes
napoléoniennes in 1912.
Philippe Sagnac, another academic, succeeded him in 1936. Marcel Dunan,
a member of the Institut de France who held the chair of History of the
French Revolution and the First Empire at the Sorbonne, took over the
supervision of the Institut Napoléon in 1947. In 1974, the directorship
fell to Professor Jean Tulard, a member of the Institut de France, who presently
teaches history at the Sorbonne and also at the Ecole pratique des Hautes Etudes.
Since 1999, the Institut Napoléon has been presided
over by Professor Jacques Olivier Boudon.
Since 1938, the Institut Napoléon has been publishing the Revue de l'Institut Napoléon (Journal of the Napoleon Institute) wich contains studies, articles, lecture reviews and a bibliographical column covering the historical periods of the French Revolution, the Consulate and the Empire. Acknowledged by the French Academy, this award-winning journal is the undisputed scientific reference in the field of Napoleonic rescarch.
If you are interested in the Napoleonic theme, this review should concern you and this is the reason why we are enclosing a membership form. Should your institution be engaged in research on this period, we would be most happy to report it to our readership.
