Evariste Galois (1811-1832) transformed algebra through new ideas about equations, permutations and mathematical structure. His exceptionally short life, his mathematical work and the circumstances of his death have also made him one of the most fascinating figures in the history of mathematics.

This website preserves a collection of biographical material, historical texts and literature inspired by his life. The site began in 2001 as an ambitious multilingual archive and translation project. Today its purpose is simpler: to keep the material that remains useful accessible in a clear, stable form.

The public archive is available in English, German, French and Italian. It also contains Paul Dupuy's historical biography, a German biography of Galois, and Bernd Klein's novel Galois Schweigen.
