The Jacques-Doucet Literary Library (BLJD) is a significant institution that preserves collections of manuscripts and rare works, enriched by donations from writers. Its collections illustrate literary modernity and the materiality of literature, including works from renowned 20th-century authors such as André Gide and surrealists.

His missions include recruiting a new team, organizing the reopening, and creating an ambitious cultural project to improve the management and accessibility of the collections.

The Jacques-Doucet Literary Library (BLJD), heir to the legacy of the couturier Jacques Doucet, has recently reopened to the public after a crisis period. Located at the University of Paris, this library stands out for its collections rich in manuscripts, rare books, and works of art, primarily focused on poetry and the literary movements of the 20th century, especially around André Gide and Surrealism. Despite its wealth, the library has faced media criticism regarding its collection management, with allegations of document disappearances and whispers of illicit sales. This led to an administrative closure in October 2022 by the rector of Paris. Today, with a renewed team and the support of an expert report, the BLJD aims to leverage its heritage while addressing the challenges of preserving its invaluable collections.

The Jacques-Doucet Literary Library (BLJD) is a prestigious institution whose collections originate from a bequest by Jacques Doucet to the University of Paris. Although the library has gained some notoriety over the years, its image has been tarnished by criticisms regarding the management of its collections, notably through press articles highlighting issues related to bequests, including documents from authors such as Cioran and Char. In 2022, suspicions of document disappearances led to an administrative closure of the library. A recent report from the General Inspection has shed light on dysfunctions and led to the appointment of Fabien Oppermann as provisional administrator. He is tasked with recruiting a new team, reopening the library, and rethinking governance and the scientific project, which could even include relocating the collections, currently spread across multiple sites.
