CREPA – Regional Center for the Study of Alpine Populations

CREPA is an association of 11 municipalities in the Valais region, funded by the Service des Hautes Écoles of the State of Valais. The center has a dual mission: advancing research and promoting socio-cultural engagement. Originating from the Historical Research Center, which focused on the genealogies of Val de Bagnes, CREPA's  genealogical database also covers the regions of St. Maurice, Saxon, and other valleys, containing data on 300,000 individuals. 

The center’s team includes historians, a socio-cultural coordinator, an archivist, a database manager, two associate researchers, and interns. CREPA collaborates with universities, research laboratories, and other institutions within the Alpine network to enhance its research initiatives.
