Encyclopedic overview

The École nationale des chartes – PSL ( French pronunciation: [ekɔl nɑsjɔnal de ʃaʁt]), sometimes rendered in English as the National School of Charters, is a French grande école and grand établissement specialising in the historical sciences, archival studies, palaeography, diplomatics, the history of the book and digital humanities. Founded by royal ordinance on 22 February 1821, it is a constituent institution of PSL University.

The school was originally associated with the National Archives and was later located at the Palais de la Sorbonne. Since October 2014, it has been based at 65 rue de Richelieu in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, opposite the Richelieu site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
