About this database
There is hardly any other family who influenced European history between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries as much as the Bonapartes did. From the French Revolution to the Treaty of Versailles, the members of this family influenced all spheres of public and private life in politics, art, literature, science, administration, the military, and even landscaping. To this end, they corresponded in writing with all important contemporaries.
The database Napoleon – Letters and Papers, now available in open access, provides a wide audience with access to the Bonaparte family’s autographs and correspondence.
