The first volume À la recherche de l'Égypte oubliée (UK & US editions: The Search for Ancient Egypt) appeared on 21 November 1986, written by the French Egyptologist Jean Vercoutter. These scholarly little books then released in successive volumes, without a systematic plan, each of which is structured like a separate book (see monographic series). There were 588 titles by November 2012, with more than 160 volumes of spin-offs and catalogues as of 2021.

It appeared in 1911, and at the beginning was nourished by the publications of La Nouvelle Revue française, the brand "Librairie Gallimard" appeared only after July 1919. Since its creation, "La Blanche", which takes its name from the cream color of its cover, has published 6500 titles, of which 3800 are still available today.

For a time, the first printer of this collection was Verbeke, director of "The St. Catherine Press Ltd", based in Bruges.
