In 2016 and 2018, Mesdames Barjon and 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 VIIth centenary commemorated in 1921.
An exhibition divided into several parts
This exhibition, produced by the archives department of the University of Montpellier (Sophie Dikoff, Antoine Redouly and Gwendoline Perrault) in collaboration with Mrs. Barjon and Professor Dedet, and with the particular 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 Bâtiment Historique, the Institut de Biologie, the extensions in Nîmes and on the northern site of Montpellier (the UPM and the building on the Arnaud de Villeneuve campus) and finally the Jardin des Plantes.
Immerse yourself in the heart of the archives
Thanks to donations from the family of former Dean Giraud, this exhibition is packed with photographs. You'll be able to admire photos of the old buildings and see how they evolved architecturally. The exhibition also features other significant documents relating to the development of the buildings, such as architectural plans, handwritten letters, postcards...
A large-scale project
On this occasion, we interviewed Sophie Dikoff, the archivist in charge of the exhibition, to find out how it came about.
Could you tell us a little about your job?
My role as archivist at the University of Montpellier is to help all structures to process their archives in accordance with current legislation on public archives. This mission is carried out in conjunction with the Hérault departmental archives, which exercise scientific and technical control. Archives leave a trace of changes in architecture, society and so on...
Where do the archives in this exhibition come from?
The majority of these were donated by Dean Giraud's family. Indeed, the Dean kept many documents on these various works, both as Dean of the Montpellier Faculty of Medicine and as an individual with a passion for the history of medicine and the Montpellier Faculty. The other archives come from the University's iconographic collection, the University's photo library and that of the Conférence des Présidents d'Université, which have been supplemented by photographs taken for the exhibition.
How long did it take you to prepare this exhibition?
The exhibition was originally scheduled for October 2020, but due to health constraints, we had to postpone it. So I've been working on this project since the beginning of 2020. It's a lengthy process, involving research into the various aspects of the subject (archive searches, readings, meetings with resource people), selecting the most interesting documents, seeking permission to use photos in accordance with copyright, writing texts and determining a tour itinerary. In terms of scenography, we called on the services of a professional scenographer, André Dumonnet. For this exhibition, we opted for a presentation by building and then by chronological order. One panel presents a chronology for all buildings and sites combined.
An exhibition open to all
The exhibition, which runs from June 18, 2021 at 1:30 pm to July 21, 2021 at 6:00 pm, is free of charge. Visits will be free from Wednesday to Friday from 1:30 pm to 6 pm and on Saturdays from 10 am to 12:30 pm, and guided on Saturdays from 1:30 pm to 6 pm.

Candidates directly admitted after the first group of tests must :
>> confirm acceptance of their admission by specifying, when their name appears on several admission lists, the medical, pharmacy, odontology or midwifery course definitively chosen , failing which they will lose the benefit of this admission and will not be able to take the second group of tests for the course to which they had been directly admitted.
