Before Comptes Rendus Mathématique
The electronic journal Comptes Rendus Mathématique is one of the heirs of the Comptes Rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences printed journal, founded in 1835 by Arago. A single, multidisciplinary journal for 130 years, Comptes Rendus was subdivided in 1966 into several series to better reflect the increasing specialization of scientific activity.
In addition to the original series, the current CR Mathématique has several ancestors:
- Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences. Série A - Sciences mathématiques (1966-1980)
- Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences. Série I - Mathématique (1981-1996)
- Comptes rendus Mathématique (since 1996)

The old issues of Comptes rendus have been digitized by the French National Library in a partnership with the Académie des sciences. These digitized files are available in the Gallica digital library, which offers a nearly complete collection for mathematics:
- Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences : from 1835 to 1965
- Série A - Sciences mathématiques : from 1966 to 1973 and 1975
- Série I - Mathématique : from 1981 to 1983 and from 1984 to 1996
CR Mathématique articles published in paper format between 1997 and 2001 have been digitized by Elsevier, the journal's former commercial publisher. They are available with restricted access on its ScienceDirect platform.
These latest issues will soon be freely available on our website, but in the meantime, a subscription to ScienceDirect is required to read them: if you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
