The Charles de Gaulle Foundation (Fondation Charles de Gaulle), previously Institut Charles-de-Gaulle has worked since 1971 to publicize and perpetuate the action of General de Gaulle (1890-1970), leader of Free France at the time of World War II, and President of the French Republic from 1959 to 1969.[1]
The foundation organizes conferences with academics and witnesses of the time, and conferences intended for a less specialized audience.
It publishes the periodical magazine Espoir.
It manages the birthplace of Charles de Gaulle in Lille and the Domaine de la Boisserie, his former residence in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises.[2]
The foundation helped create:
- the Historial Charles de Gaulle at the Army Museum in Paris;
- the Mémorial Charles-de-Gaulle in Colombey.
A specialized library and an archive are available to researchers and students in its research and documentation center.[3]
