The N. H. Kuiper Library collection focuses on research level materials in mathematics and pure physics. The library also offers various services.
The journal Les Publications mathématiques de l’IHES publishes two annual volumes totalling 400 pages and is a global reference in its field.
Preprints collect works conducted at the Institute and often show the scientific collaborations between invited researchers and professors.

The IHES library was inaugurated on 23 May 2003 and bears the name of the Institute’s second director, thus honoring the memory of Nicolaas Hendrik Kuiper. The library was created as soon as the Institute moved to Bures-sur-Yvette and was initially situated in the music pavilion in the Bois-Marie site. It is now located on the first floor of the science building and the view it offers of the surrounding woods is conducive to study and inspiration for its readers.
The Nicolaas Hendrik Kuiper Library is specialized in the fields of mathematics, theoretical physics, and any other science related to them. It welcomes :
- Permanent Professors and visiting researchers of the IHES;
- Doctoral students, post-doctoral students, researchers, or staff of the University of Paris-Saclay;
- Users outside Université Paris-Saclay having received the authorization of the Director.
Institutional partners:
– RNBM: This national network of mathematics libraries conducts a national documentary policy and plays a major role in helping the French mathematical community access electronic documentation (consortium agreements).
– CNRS: The Nicolaas H. Kuiper library is a CNRS mixed service unit (UMS 1786).
– Paris-Saclay University: The Nicolaas H. Kuiper library is also a member of the Paris-Saclay University libraries.

History of the review
The Publications mathématiques de l’IHES was created in 1959 under the leadership of Léon Motchane, and Jean Dieudonné, professor at the institute.
Issues were first published at irregular intervals and in four languages: French, English, German and Russian (the latter language has now been abandoned). Gradually, IHES published two annual volumes totalling 800 pages. Since 2012, the journal has had a circulation of 320 printed copies. It is also available online and on numdam.org.
The Publications mathématiques de l’IHES is an international journal publishing papers of highest scientific level. Thanks to its worldwide distribution (it can be found in the libraries of the major mathematical institutions in the world), to its tradition of publishing landmark articles and to its broad coverage of the discipline, it has won international recognition.
Jean Dieudonné was the journal’s first editor-in-chief. Jacques Tits succeeded him in 1980 to 1998, followed by Etienne Ghys until 2009.
The editorial board has expanded over the years. Pierre Deligne, Dennis Sullivan, René Thom, all IHES professors, were the first to join the committee in 1980.
They were followed by Mikhail Gromov in 1982, Jean Bourgain in 1987, Maxim Kontsevich in 1996, Laurent Lafforgue in 1999 and Claire Voisin in 2007.
Les Publications mathématiques de l’IHES was managed in 2010 and 2011 by Claire Voisin and Sergiu Klainerman and by Claire Voisin from January 2012 until June 2019. It is then on Nicolas Bergeron’s initiative, editor-in-chief from 2019 to 2022, that Les Publications mathématiques de l’IHES became diamond open access (more information here). Sébastien Boucksom has been the editor-in-chief since July 2022.
