Protecting and promoting a “Memory of the World” library The Martin Bodmer (Zurich 1899-Geneva 1971) Foundation was created in 1971 and aims to protect the library left to it by its founder, and make it accessible to the general public.

This Bibliotheca Bodmeriana is considered as one of the best private collections in the world and has been listed as part of the UNESCO “Memory of the World” Programme since 2015.

The Foundation has created its own restoration and digitalisation workshops, as well as a museum which houses permanent and temporary exibitions. The Foundation enjoys a unique setting in the hillside of Cologny, with a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and the city of Geneva. It offers a varied programme of public engagement for adults, students, children, families, and schools.
