Journals
In 2024, the library receives 101 ongoing titles. Of these, 58 are purchased, 43 come from donations or exchanges.
The library has a very active role in the PCMath, the national plan for the shared conservation of printed journals in mathematics, run by the RNBM. IHP is engaged to be a perennial conservation centre for more than 175 titles, and has been awarded the label reference collection for 80 of them..
Monographs
The most represented fields are all the various disciplines surrounding mathematics and theoretical physics. The library also holds a comprehensive collection on the history and philosophy of science covering those same fields of mathematics and theoretical physics, however with an emphasis on the 19th and 20th centuries.
The library's full monographs collection appears in every catalogs listed below. Though these do not all have the same scope and thus can redirect you to other resources available elsewhere.
Main catalog. Search within all libraries at Sorbonne Université (Sciences & engineering, Medicine et Arts & humanities).
