| Résumé | The French National Library owns one of the most significant collection of publishers’ and booksellers’ catalogs in Europe. Libraries to have built holdings of such documents are few and far between, mainly because they were fragile, being printed on low quality paper, and considered as mere advertising ephemera. However, these catalogues, dating from the sixteenth century to the present and from all around the world, are precious research resources in understanding the book trade and publishing and reading history. They are vital resources for scholars interested in bibliography, book history, and literary and cultural history. The workshop will draw on concrete examples to illustrate how the French National Library founded the collection at the end of the nineteenth century, and how it continues to grow thanks to concerted efforts to collect, preserve, catalog, and promote this unique collection. |
