In 2009, the Ville de Provins and Columbia University established a cooperative relationship for the use of the city’s archives and municipal library by Columbia faculty and students and by affiliates of the Columbia Global Centers | Europe at Reid Hall in Paris. Columbia researchers studying the collections can access them outside the regular opening hours and stay in housing provided by the City of Provins. Since the signing of the agreement, scholars from Columbia have visited the fonds ancien in Provins nearly every year.
To arrange for a visit to Provins, Columbia researchers should contact Susan Boynton (Professor, Department of Music), who is currently overseeing the agreement ([email protected]).
