Atelier national de reproduction des thèses

The Atelier national de reproduction des thèses maintains a collection of over 230,000 academic theses, offering reproduction services for researchers and institutions across France.

Established in 1971 under the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the center initially managed two separate facilities before consolidating operations in Villeneuve-d'Ascq.

The center contributes to French academic heritage by preserving doctoral research through modern reproduction methods and maintaining extensive archives of scholarly work.

Researchers can access the center's services by phone at 03 20 41 73 27 or visit the facility at the Université de Lille campus to request thesis reproductions.

The facility transitioned from microfiche production to digital formats in 2017, integrating with the University of Lille library system to enhance academic document accessibility.
