L'Intermédiaire des chercheurs et curieux (French: The Intermediate of the Researchers and Curious), abbreviated as ICC, is a monthly French magazine consisting of questions and answers of its readers on various encyclopedic topics. It focuses mainly on art, history, genealogy, literature, and religions.

History

The magazine appeared from 1864^[1] to 1940. Initially it focused on the arts and all sciences.^[2] It reappeared in April 1951, first under a slightly different name.

A high-ranking official of Scottish origin, Charles Read, under the pseudonym of Carle de Rash, was the founder and the first director. He took as a model the Notes and Queries, published in London, and based it on the same principle. Genealogical and nobility issues gained in importance following the reappearance in 1951.

Since 1981 ICC is not published in September, i.e. the number of issues reduced from 12 to 11 per year.
