Louis Roppe was also active as a historian who published several studies on the French period in Belgium and the United Kingdom. Under his governorship, the Provincial Library of Hasselt was founded in 1958, a study centre on the Peasants' War and the French regime. He was also one of the editors-in-chief of the publication Twintig Eeuwen Vlaanderen from 1972 to 1979.
