Eugène Vaillé (French pronunciation: [øʒɛn vaje]; 10 August 1875, Bédarieux, Hérault[1] - 1959, Riols[2]) was a French postal historian and the first curator of the postal museum of France, now La Poste's Museum, from 1946 to 1955.
In 1920, he was hired by the Minister of Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones (PTT) as a librarian.
In 1936, he convinced PTT Minister Georges Mandel to restart the project to create a postal museum, which had been originally proposed around the turn of the 20th century.
Even if the economic crisis of the 1930s and World War II prevented any concrete action, Vaillé inventoried the collections and material available in the PTT's archives and libraries.
He wrote a seven-volume "General History of the French Posts", published between 1947 and 1955.
