The IRFA aims at protecting, enhancing, and putting forward patrimonial collections belonging to the Missions Étrangères de Paris (MEP) / Paris Foreign Missions, a catholic priests society founded in 1658 and established in fifteen different countries in Asia and the Indian Ocean.
Born from four centuries of cultural exchange and scientific research, an important patrimony is preserved in Paris and put to the service of research today.
After registration, your can book a working place in our reading room, or ask to receive digital reproductions.
