directors or inspectors.</p><h4>A Library Named after Pierre Charles Lesage</h4><p><strong>Pierre Charles LESAGE</strong> came to study at the École nationale des ponts et chaussées when he was around 30 years old.<br />Qualifying as a Ponts et Chaussées engineer in 1776, he remained at the School and pursued his entire career there until his death in 1810.</p><p>He supported deputy director Chézy in all educational matters and was also responsible for the “precious deposit of books, essays, machine drawings, and models”, before becoming inspector of the School.<br />In this role, he looked after the management and classification of the School’s collections, as well as making them available to students as learning materials.</p><p>Opon his death, like <a href="http://patrimoine.enpc.fr/famille_des_ponts?id=862" target="_blank">Jean-Rodolphe Perronet</a>, the School’s first director, he left the School all his archives, his library, and the objects kept in his office.<br />It is in memory of his contributions and in honor of this valuable legacy, that the School chose to name the library after him.<br />Most of Lesage’s books and papers are labeled “Sapiens”, an appropriate pun for a place of learning and scholarship.</p><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" style="width:690px;"><tbody><tr><td

In 2001, it became an <a href="http://www.bnf.fr/fr/professionnels/cooperation_nationale/a.creation_du_reseau.html" target="_blank">affiliate of the National Library of France (BnF)</a> for civil engineering: 5,000 old photographs digitized with the assistance of the BnF formed the foundation for its future digital library. In 2002, the library catalogue became accessible online. In 2003, a single documentary service was created through the merging of the Contemporary and Historical Document Center and the Scientific and Technical Research Information Center. By Decision 2012-04 of June 11, 2012 on the organization of the School’s services, the documentary service became the Documentation, Archives, and Legacy Department.</p><h4>... to Université Paris-Est</h4><p>In 2007, <a href="http://www.univ-paris-est.fr/en/" target="_blank">the Université Paris-Est community of universities and institutions</a> was founded, with our Department becoming an active partner.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/sites/enpc.fr/files/ckfinder/ckfinder/images/Biblioth%C3%A8que/_mg_9584.jpg" style="align:center; height:401px; width:600px" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:10px"><em>Source : Photothèque de l'École nationale des ponts et chaussées, cop.
