In 2016 and 2018, Ms. Barjon and Ms. Blanc, daughters of former Dean Gaston Giraud, bequeathed their father's archives to the University of Montpellier. These archives now enable us to offer you an exhibition on the evolution of the Faculty's various buildings and sites since the 700th anniversary commemorated in 1921.
An exhibition divided into several parts
This exhibition, organized by the archives department of the University of Montpellier (Sophie Dikoff, Antoine Redouly, and Gwendoline Perrault) in collaboration with Ms. Barjon and Professor Dedet, and with the participation of Dean Jacques Bringer, Professor Daniel Jarry, and Mr. Serge Caminade, will focus on the evolution of the various buildings and sites that make up the Faculty: the Historic Building, the Institute of Biology, the extensions in Nîmes and on the northern site of Montpellier (the UPM and the Arnaud de Villeneuve campus building) and, finally, the Jardin des Plantes.
Immerse yourself in the archives
Thanks to donations from the family of former Dean Giraud, this exhibition features a wealth of photographs. You can admire photos of the old buildings and see how they have changed over time. The exhibition also showcases other documents that are significant to the development of the buildings, such as architectural plans, handwritten letters, postcards, and more.
A large-scale project
On this occasion, we interviewed Sophie Dikoff, the archivist in charge of this exhibition, to understand how it was put together.
Could you tell us about your job?
My role as archivist at the University of Montpellier is to assist all departments in processing their archives in accordance with current legislation on public archives. This task is carried out in conjunction with the Hérault departmental archives, which exercise scientific and technical control. Archives provide a record of developments, whether architectural, societal, or other.
Where do the archives in this exhibition come from?
Most of these come from donations made by the family of Dean Giraud. The dean kept many documents relating to his various projects as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine in Montpellier, but also in his personal capacity, as he was passionate about the history of medicine and the Faculty of Montpellier. The other archives come from the University's iconographic collection, the University's photo library, and that of the Conference of University Presidents, which were supplemented by photographs taken for the exhibition.
How long did it take you to prepare this exhibition?
The exhibition was originally scheduled to take place in October 2020, but due to health restrictions, we had to postpone it. So I've been working on this project since around the beginning of 2020. The process is very long, as we first have to conduct research to learn about the different aspects of the subject (research in archives, reading, meetings with resource persons), select the most interesting documents, request authorization to use photos in accordance with copyright laws, write texts, and determine a tour route. For the scenography, we called on the services of a professional scenographer, André Dumonnet. For this exhibition, the decision was made to present each building individually and then in chronological order. A panel presents a chronology of all buildings and sites.
An exhibition open to all
The exhibition, which will run from June 18, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. to July 21, 2021, at 6:00 p.m., is free of charge. Visits are free from Wednesday to Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Guided tours are available on Saturdays from 1:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Focus on: ADAC result "Admitted before choice"
Candidates who are directly admitted after the first set of tests must:
>> confirm their acceptance of admission, specifying, when their name appears on several admission lists, the medical, pharmacy, dentistry, or midwifery program they have definitively chosen, under penalty of losing the benefit of this admission and not being able to take the second group of exams for the program to which they had been directly admitted. This agreement constitutes a waiver of the right to sit the second group of exams.
III of Article 11 of the Order of November 11, 2019
Students must clearly express their decision:
>> either they explicitly accept the program to which they have been admitted after the first set of exams and, in this case, they waive their right to participate in the second set of exams and the possibility of being admitted to another program;
>> either they waive their right to take the first set of exams and can take the second set of exams in order to try again to be admitted to another program. They can also try again to gain admission to the program they waived direct admission to. However, there is no guarantee that they will be admitted to this program.
