2026 Call for Researchers by the Bnu: Abraham Moles Collection

The Abraham Moles library

In 2013, as part of a donation made by Elisabeth Rohmer-Moles, the Abraham Moles library was incorporated into the BNU collections. With around 7,000 volumes, this collection reflects the diverse interests of a researcher trained in both the exact sciences and the human sciences. Its books, files, records and objects illustrate Moles’ intellectual and professional journey, from his early work as an engineer specialising in electroacoustics to his research in social psychology, and from his collaboration with the RTF Radio and Television Studies Centre to his work on the subject of kitsch. Its breadth also includes Moles’ areas of special expertise as a pioneer of the information and communication sciences in France, including computing and urban planning, posters and design, semiology and “futurism.”
