Use of DataThe University of Geneva has maintained custody of its own records since 1873, the year that the Académie de Calvin was transformed into the modern university. The administrative and heritage archives (Archives administratives et patrimoniales, AAP) have accumulated and managed institutional documentary heritage across more than 150 years. The Archives Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau (AIJJR), a distinct but related entity housed under the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences (FPSE), was formally established as a foundation in 1984 on the initiative of professors Daniel Hameline and Mireille Cifali, to preserve and promote the documentary legacy of the Institut Rousseau, founded in Geneva in 1912.
The administrative and patrimonial archives (AAP) hold approximately 1,500 linear metres of paper archives comprising institutional records of the rectorate, administrative services, faculties, research centres, and institutes of the university, along with selected personal papers of professors.
The Archives Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau hold close to 200 linear metres of written, iconographic, and audiovisual resources. These document the history of the Institut Rousseau and important figures in the educational reform and child welfare movements, including Charles Baudouin, Pierre Bovet, Édouard Claparède, and Adolphe Ferrière. The archives cover the New Education movement and its international diffusion, as well as the protection of children in the early twentieth century. The AIJJR collection includes roughly 1,500 photographs.
The administrative and patrimonial archives are accessible by appointment at the AAP reading room at 14, quai du Seujet, Geneva. The Archives Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau are accessible to researchers, historians, and students by prior appointment at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Université de Genève. Selected digitized materials are available online through the archives website.
