The collection bring together works from Le Corbusier bequest and acqusitions made over the years by the Fondation Le Corbusier. In order to ensure the durability of these works and to facilitate consultation by researchers, a digitization programme linkes to an electronic document management system has been introducted. The operation was divided into three phases. The first covers documents marked with an asterisk, which have already been incorporated in the system and can be consulted (see "Consultation Modalities"). The second (**) was initiated in 1999 and was finished in the course of 2001. The planning of the last phase will depend on available funds of the Fondation Le Corbusier. The list of the different funds listed mentioned below was drawn up according to an indexing system used for the data base.
