Educational mini-site – may 2026

The studio was commissioned to create this digital project entitled “George Sand, a Free Woman in Her Century.” This project follows in the footsteps of similar productions centered on figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte: Apology and Satire and the digital publication Leonardo da Vinci’s Notebooks.

The mini-site is designed to make the writer’s archives accessible. It organizes content around major themes (commitments, writing process, editorial journey), while providing direct access to digitized original documents (letters, manuscripts, political writings), accompanied by transcriptions to facilitate reading.

Particular attention has been paid to mediation and accessibility, notably through a structured historical overview and a “DYS Mode” adapted for students with learning difficulties.
