Interesting question. I suppose you mean an external point of view, not the brief self-description that can be read on

The French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP), UMIFRE 21 CNRS-MAEE, is a research institution under the joint supervision of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).

Dear all,
Is there are work on the history and functions of the French Institute, in either French or English?
Thank you!
