Rémi Mathis FRSA, (born 20 November 1982) is a French historian, curator, and free-culture advocate.
Early life
Rémi Mathis graduated from the École Nationale des Chartes in 2007. The following year he obtained his degree from the National School of Information Science and Libraries.
Career
Mathis was in charge of the library of humanities and social science at the Paris Descartes University from 2008 to 2010. Since 2010, he has been a curator for 17th century collections at the Department of Prints and Photographs of the National Library of France. He is the editor of the library's Nouvelles de l'estampe.[1] He is a member of the National Committee for French Engraving (French: Comité national de l'estampe).[2]
Mathis' research focuses on the 17th century, specifically Jansenism and diplomatic history. His dissertation, written under the supervision of Lucien Bély and Olivier Poncet, focuses on Simon Arnauld de Pomponne.[3] In 2012, he wrote a book about Pomponne and Robert Arnauld d'Andilly.[4] He has contributed to Papers on French Seventeenth Century Literature.[5]
Free culture advocacy
Mathis is active in promoting the legalization of freedom of panorama in France.[6] He also advocates against the privatization of the digitization of public-domain works.[7] His work in the culture sector and free culture movement has earned him the nickname "Janus de la transmission," by Le Magazine littéraire.[8]
He is a member of Wikimedia France,[1] and served as President from April 2011 to October 2014.[9] In April 2013, the French interior intelligence agency Direction centrale du renseignement intérieur (DCRI) pressured Mathis into deleting the French language Wikipedia article about the Military radio station of Pierre-sur-Haute, under threat of detention and criminal charge.[10][11] Later, the article was restored by another Wikipedia contributor based in Switzerland.[12][13]
He was named Wikipedian of the Year by Jimmy Wales at Wikimania 2013.[14]
