À l’Ifpo, les épuisés ont repris vie !

Mis en ligne le 14 décembre, 2011 - 16:37

Monuments historiques de Damas, de
J. Sauvaget (1932)

Quatre vingt quinze titres épuisés du catalogue des Presses de l'Ifpo sont désormais en libre accès sur le site e-corpus, consultables en mode image mais avec recherche plein-texte (consulter les ouvrages épuisés).

Cette campagne de numérisation, conduite dans le cadre d’un partenariat avec le Centre de Conservation du Livre (CCL, Arles) a redonné vie à des classiques de grands orientalistes et chercheurs comme Jean Sauvaget, Claude Cahen, Charles Pellat, Albert de Boucheman, Henri Laoust, André Latron, etc. et à des numéros du Bulletin d’études orientales. Elle a vocation à englober en 2012 l’ensemble des 230 titres épuisés.
La renaissance des épuisés va de pair avec la poursuite de la mise en ligne sur revues.org (ifpo.revues.org) d'ouvrages plus récents, en accès libre et en texte intégral, et avec la commercialisation d'ebooks (PDF et epub). 


Grâce au CCL, l’Ifpo numérise également ses fonds iconographiques (consulter les photographies). Trente mille images de la photothèque d’archéologie sont en cours de traitement. Près de 3000 d’entre elles (un corpus remarquable de vues aériennes datant des années 1930 à 1960) sont d’ores et déjà consultables.

Now it is published in cooperation with Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the State Hermitage Museum. It is the first and only international journal entirely dedicated to issues of Oriental textology, comparative codicology, and palaeography. It regularly features articles by scholars who work with sources in Oriental languages and manuscripts preserved in the rich collections of the famous St. Petersburg museums, libraries and archives. The journal also acquaints its readers with materials on little-known collections of Oriental manuscripts from various museums and academic centers in Russia and the countries of the former USSR. It serves as a forum for the research of colleagues in the United States, Germany, Norway, Holland, Italy, Czech Republic, France, Iran, Great Britain, Japan and many other countries. Publications in the journal are subjected to a stringent selection process to ensure that it meets the demands of an international community of specialists.

Open Access Journal: Journal of the Iran Society

 [First posted in AMIR 3 January 2011. Updated 9 December 2011]

Journal of the Iran Society

Founded in 1935, The Iran Society acts as a gathering point for those who are interested in Iran's heritage and culture. It is strictly non-political. Its object is to promote learning and advance education in the subject of Iran, its peoples and culture and particularly to advance education through the study of language, literature, art, history, religions, antiquities, usages, institutions and customs of Iran. The Society's principal activities comprise seven lectures a year on a wide range of subjects, publication of occasional monographs, an annual study day (e.g. on Persian carpets or manuscripts), publication of the Society's journal and an annual reception for members and guests.

In 2002 The Iran Society re-launched its Journal which had ceased publication in 1954.

It is intended that the Journal will be issued on an annual basis and will contain summaries of lectures to the Society, reviews of the Society's other activities, book reviews etc.
