Matteo Fadini: The library of the Bruno Kessler Foundation

The library of the Bruno Kessler Foundation holds an ancient collection, personal archives, personal and institutional libraries, audio recordings of conferences held by the research centers ISIG – Italian-German Historical Institute and ISR – Center for Religious Sciences, cartographic materials, and microfilms. Donated collections are processed, organized, and cataloged in accordance with their integrity and archival constraints; only the old volumes are physically removed from the library collection, but not managed separately, to ensure their preservation under appropriate environmental conditions. In cases where a subject has both a bibliographic and an archival collection, efforts are made to facilitate communication between the two collections.
