Benoît's fund could, for reasons mentioned above, only be partial. Without a prior consolidation of the archives likely to constitute Fr. Benoît's fonds allowing an overview, it is impossible to quantify precisely the proportion of the fonds classified and described in this digital directory.

In any case, the classified and described part of Fr. Benoît's archival fonds consists mainly of correspondence, both with his family and friends, as well as with publishers (mainly the editions of Le Cerf) and academics.

It is interesting to note the presence of almost all of Fr. Benoît's agendas from 1947 to 1986 and of aide-memoire notes on the events of his life from 1950 to 1985, sources that would allow the writing of a richly documented biography.

Several other dossiers are also worth mentioning for their interest in a personal history as well as in the relations of the French Ecole Biblique et archéologique de Jérusalem with the Palestinian and Israeli authorities for the conservation of the archaeological heritage. In the first perspective, we can mention the documents relating to theological studies, the decoration of the Legion of Honour and participation in various pontifical commissions. In the second perspective, the interesting dossiers of Jerusalem (guided tours, symposia, conferences, articles), Qumran and the Palestinian Archaeological Museum (Rockefeller Museum) take on all their importance.
