The '''''Bibliothèque nationale de France''''' ('''BnF''') is the [[National library|National Library]] of [[France]], located in [[Paris]]. It is intended to be the repository of all that is published in France. The current president of the library is [[Bruno Racine]].

==History==

The National Library of France traces its origin to the royal library founded at the [[Louvre]] by [[Charles V of France|Charles V]] in 1368. It expanded under [[Louis XIV of France|Louis XIV]] and opened to the public in 1692. The library's collections swelled to over 300,000 volumes during the [[Legislative Assembly (France)|radical phase]] of the [[French Revolution]] when the private libraries of aristocrats and clergy were seized.

Following the series of regime changes in France, it became the '''Imperial National Library''' and in 1868 was moved to newly constructed buildings on the ''[[rue de Richelieu]]'' designed by [[Henri Labrouste]].

==New buildings==

On 14 July 1988, [[President of France|President]] [[François Mitterrand]] announced the construction and the expansion of one of the largest and most modern libraries in the world, intended to cover all fields of knowledge, and designed to be accessible to all, using the most modern data transfer technologies, which could be consulted from a distance, and which would collaborate with other European buildings. The library does maintain a wireless network. In July 1989, the services of the architectural firm of [[Dominique Perrault]] were retained. The construction was carried out by [[Bouygues]].<ref>[http://www.bouygues.com/us/groupe/fiches/pop_bibliotheque_france.html Bouygues website: Bibliothèque nationale de France]</ref> After the move of the major collections from the ''rue de Richelieu'', the National Library of France opened to the public on 20 December 1995. It contains more than twenty million volumes.

==Mission==
[[Image:Bibliotèque nationale de France, site Richelieu (salle ovale).JPG|thumb|Reading Room, Richelieu site]]
The National Library of France is a public establishment under the supervision of the [[French Ministry of Culture|Ministry of Culture]]. Its mission is to constitute collections, especially the copies of works published in France that must, by law, be deposited there, conserve them, and make them available to the public. It produces a reference catalogue, cooperates with other national and international establishments, and participates in research programs.

===Greek manuscripts===
The library holds about 5,000 Greek manuscripts, which are divided into three fonds: ''fonds grec'', ''[[fonds Coislin]]'', and ''supplément grec''.

===Gallica===
[[Image:VBRITTO-bnf-man-with-hat-paris.jpg|thumb|François Mitterrand site, East entrance/exit]]
In 1997 the [[digital library]] was established for online users. As of April 2006, Gallica made available on the Web: 90,000 scanned volumes, 1,200 full-text volumes, 500 audio documents, and 80,000 images.
