TITLE: Have Grothendieck's notes in Montpellier already been investigated?
QUESTION [26 upvotes]: Grothendieck, who passed away on November 13, 2014, left a huge amount (around 20.000 sheets) of personal notes in the University of Montpellier that he thought he was the only one to be able to decipher. I heard that this intellectual treasure has been stored even though Grothendieck did not want anyone to publish any of his works. 
My question is therefore: has someone begun to examine these notes?

REPLY [24 votes]: Apparently 18,000 pages of Grothendieck's notes are going to be released on May 10, 2017 at 4:30 pm on the site of the University of Montpellier. I get this information from the following article: http://www.liberation.fr/sciences/2017/05/05/les-notes-du-mathematicien-alexandre-grothendieck-arrivent-sur-le-net_1567517

...and here is a link to the Université de Montpellier site where 18,000 of Grothendieck's notes are now posted!
