Description

The Réseau Francophone Numérique (RFN – Francophone Digital Network) is an association that brings together the French-speaking world’s greatest documentary institutions. 

This network, which gains new members each year, provides evidence – through unique but currently little known heritage collections, which are sometimes in danger of deterioration – of the intense cultural exchanges that have been made possible through shared use of the French language.

Its digital library benefits from maximum search engine optimisation, and provides 274 million French speakers (IOF figures) with the Gallica digital library’s search and consultation functionalities.

Given the richness of contents to be included over time, geographic corpuses and theme-based selections are on offer, presented by top Francophone researchers.
