Recognition
In 1935 Georges Lefebvre became the president of the Societé des Études robespierristes and the director of the Annales historiques de la Révolution française. In 1937 Lefebvre was named the Chair of the History of the French Revolution at the Sorbonne.
By 1914 he had already published a collection of documents, entitled Documents relatifs à l’histoire des subsistances dans le district de Bergues pendant la Révolution (1788-An V). Lefebvre continued to engrave all that he could on the French Revolution and all that dealt with it, well into his old age and beyond his retirement from the position of Chair at the Sorbonne in 1945. Georges Lefebvre died in Boulogne-Billancourt on August 28, 1959.
