Students and researchers
The Palais Galliera Resource Centre boasts a viewing room with 6 reading places for researchers (academics, students from Master level, conservators, exhibition curators, authors and journalists). Book a date!
Equipment
The room is equipped with sockets for laptops, a Wi-Fi connection, as well as two workstations for accessing the databases. Some resources stored externally are accessible by appointment for one researcher per consultation.
Consultation guidelines
As most of the documents housed here are fragile and rare, access is limited to five works, volumes or boxes per work session. Documents are not given out on loan.
A viewing/reading place is also available in our storerooms for researchers, with restricted access to fashion ephemera, trade catalogues, auction catalogues, periodicals and couture pattern collections.
Researchers are authorized to take digital photos in exceptional cases of some of the documents accessed by making a request to Resource Centre staff. These reproductions are intended solely for private use as part of documentary research and may under no circumstances be used for publishing purposes.
Reproductions
Reproduction of the Palais Galliera's 2D works, which are not covered by rights, are downloadable via the Paris Musées’ Collections portal (in French) in high definition (300 dpi) and may be reused freely, for commercial and non-commercial purposes. These images are easily recognizable as they feature the wording "CCØ" and a "download" button.
