Abstract This paper shows how Charles Péguy in his first text about history, the Compte rendu de congrès of 1901, tries to overcome the classical opposition of history and memory in historiography. It makes clear that Bergson’s philosophy of time and of memory had a substantial influence on Péguy’s thoughts on history and memory. Thus, by basing his reflections on philosophy, Péguy provides an original answer to a question that actually seems urgent to many historians.
