The École française de Rome edits a periodical, the Mélanges de l'École française de Rome, divided into three sections: Antiquité, Moyen Âge, Italie et Méditerranée. In 1876 the Bibliothèque des Écoles françaises d'Athènes et de Rome (BEFAR) was created as a co-series whose scope was to publish the doctoral theses of members of the French School of Rome and Athens. In 1964, the French School of Rome started publishing its own series, the Collection de l'École française de Rome, which incorporates the publication of research and seminar proceedings carried out by the School's scientific programme. Since 1961 the Acta Nuntiaturae Gallicae series has published critical editions of the correspondence of the Apostolic Nuncios in France until the end of the Ancien Régime. The series Roma antica began in 1987 and includes publications on excavations of archaeological sites of Rome in collaboration with the Soprintendenza archeologica di Roma. The series Sources et documents d'histoire du Moyen Âge was created in 1998 in order to provide critical editions of medieval documents. One cannot fail to mention other minor series devoted to the study of monuments (Le palais Farnèse, La villa Médicis), several exhibition catalogues and, last but not least, an analytical bibliography dedicated to the ancient Maghreb (Bibliographie analytique de l'Afrique antique).
