The historian of Cambodia, Michael Vickery, left us at the beginning of the summer at the age of 86. He was the travelling companion over several decades of our École, in Cambodia as at Chiang Mai. At once a faithful colleague and searching mind, an eager debater, he was a committed contributor to the Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars. His approach, which focussed on economic history from epigraphic sources, led to his putting forward much debated hypotheses about pre-angkorian Cambodia (Society, Economics and Politics in Pre-Angkor Cambodia, Tokyo, 1998), but he worked, too, on later Angkorian periods (most of this work has been written down) and post-Angkorian ones (doctorate from Yale), and presented a quite heated analysis of the Khmer Rouge years and their effects (Cambodia 1975-1982, Boston, 1984). Michael Vickery has bequeathed to the École a part of his library and of his archives.
Since June, our École has learned with satisfaction that several of its projects, carried out in partnership, have been selected for financing. We mention first the European research project H2020, "CRISEA" (Competing Regional integrations in Southeast Asia), held by the EFEO, which brings together 13 European and South-East Asian institutional partners (2,5 M€). Another important European project (WANASEA) is being continued in the field of training (Mékong region). This is included in the follow-up to Tam Dao Days organised in Vietnam for the last ten years. As well, two ANR projects in which the EFEO plays a major role have been accepted "ModAThom", centred on Angkor Thom (dir. J. Gaucher, EFEO and P. Husi, CNRS) and "CITY-NKOR Ville, architecture et urbanisme en Corée du Nord" (dir. E. Chabanol, EFEO and V. Gélézeau, EHESS).
The start of the academic year has seen some changes in the direction of the EFEO. A new director of studies, Christophe Marquet, succeeds Charlotte Schmid who has agreed to prolong her mandate till the beginning of September 2017. She will continue to be responsible for Editions and is to be sincerely thanked for having given four years, selflessly, of her energy and outstanding competence to the École.

999 photographs by the architect Pierre Pichard, former member of the EFEO, are now on line. These pictures were taken between 1987 and 2004 during missions in Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Laos, Burma, Bhutan, Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand and South Korea. An important photographic collection of the work carried out by Pierre Pichard at Pagan (Burma) will complete this initial web access.
Because of concerns regarding the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments Trust (HRCE) as to procedure and demand, the IFP and EFEO are temporarily suspending the putting on line of the site of the photo library common to both institutions.

The new building that replaces the annexe in the courtyard of 19 rue Dumas, is completed and was inaugurated on 13th July by Monsieur Bertrand de Hartingh, conseiller de coopération et d'action culturelle, of the French Embassy at Delhi, and by Madame Catherine Suard, newly appointed French Consule générale at Pondicherry, who was taking up her mission the same day.
The new annexe, built on the plan generously given to us by the architect Jean-Louis Cardin, comprises a big archive room that includes workspace, two guestrooms and a "kitchen" area giving onto a second courtyard. The uncontrolled construction of an adjoining five-storey hotel made this building indispensable, but the result is an harmonious and liveable ensemble of buildings.

Sathyanarayanan and the Telugu version with SLP Anjaneya Sarma.
