Institut's own material.<br />
With the aid <strong>of</strong> Culturethèque, the Institut hopes to adapt itself to the needs <strong>of</strong> its<br />
customers living outside <strong>London</strong>, who are unable to visit in person. The project was<br />
financed by both private and public funds. The French Ministry <strong>of</strong> Foreign Affairs,<br />
eager to revitalise the image <strong>of</strong> French culture abroad, agreed to subsidize the<br />
project, along with funds raised by the Friends <strong>of</strong> the French Institute Trust.<br />
The digitised contents <strong>of</strong>fered by Culturethèque come from French business<br />
distributors specialising in the provision and publication <strong>of</strong> such contents. The<br />
platform itself was developed by a British company called Large Blue.<br />
With this simple and user-friendly tool, the Institut hopes to respond to new cultural<br />
practices and, coinciding with its 100th anniversary, turn resolutely towards the<br />
future.<br />
