Up to 1975 the "Cahiers" had some support from the CNRS. However for the last 30 years we have published them (at a very cheap price), without any financial nor clerical subvention, with only the revenue of the subscriptions which (scarcely) pay for the printer and the stamps. I do all the material work (preparation of the final version of the volume for the printer, preparation of the envelopes and sending of the volumes, registration of the subscriptions,...) without any help. I even pay personally for the simple computer material necessary to handle them (that explains why I need well prepared .pdf files from the authors...). Though the "Cahiers" seemed forgotten by the French establishment, I have been pleasantly surprised to recently receive an offer from NUMDAM to post them on the Internet (without any cost for me). In fact the 7 first volumes are already posted under the heading "Seminaire Ehresmann" (which was their initial title or sub-title); at the address http://www.numdam.org/numdam-bin/feuilleter?j=SE&sl=0* The following volumes should be numerized in 2007 (I have agreed with the terms of the contract and should incessantly receive its final version to sign). After that NUMDAM will post each volume 2 years after its paper publication. I hope you'll help me by avoiding to substantially decrease the number of subscriptions which are vital for the journal's continuation. With all my best wishes to all Andree Ehresmann
