Thanks to the work of its archives department, the Collège de France is now publishing a historical list of its professors since its creation in 1530. It brings together almost nine hundred names, spread over five centuries of existence.
As the methods of appointment, the status and the conditions of occupation of the chairs have varied widely since the first royal lecturers, the list is given for information only, based on the current state of knowledge of the Collège de France. It does not include lecturers or substitute lecturers, who will be included in a forthcoming supplementary list.
