Archival history
The Bibliothèque-musée de Carpentras manuscript collection contains a wide variety of documents of different provenance. Some of the most relevant manuscripts were the "Peiresc papers", acquired by Malachie d'Inguimbert (1683-1757). Another collection of significant importance belonged to the scholar Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637), containing 120 manuscripts on Astronomy, History and Botany.
In the musical section, the manuscript collection includes autograph scores by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Schumann (1810-1856), and Brahms (1833-1897), donated by Jean-Joseph Bonaventure Laurens (1801-1890) in 1888.

Administrative / Biographical history
The Bibliothèque-musée de Carpentras was founded by the bishop of Carpentras, Malachie d'Inguimbert (1683-1757). For reasons of preservation, the Bibliothèque-musée was later moved to the Hôtel-Dieu. The building was a hospital institution until 2002. It was reformed in 2014, and its current facilities were completed in 2017.
