Course contents

The Master's Degree Course, launched in agreement with the University of Padua, forms archivists and librarians, providing in-depth scientific expertise in the treatment of materials preserved in archives, libraries and documentation centres, historical or contemporary, public or private, as well as specific knowledge for the articulated management of such institutions.

The course consists of a single programme with three modules for training archivists, librarians and conservation librarians.

The study plan includes a group of lessons shared by all modules, providing wide-ranging and transversal skills in archiving, librarianship and conservation to guarantee broad basic training for all students on the various themes of transmission, conservation and treatment of archival and library materials.

The lessons are theoretical, practical and methodological, covering the methods of transmission, management, promotion and communication of archival and bibliographic information, the main IT tools, the basic knowledge in the field of Digital Humanities for archival and bibliographical materials and the specific telematic communication of the archiving and librarianship sectors.

The course will provide the skills for a managerial career in state administrations of the archival and library sector, in local authorities, in public and private conservation institutions, in public and private bodies and organisations engaged in the production, management, conservation, promotion and communication of archival and bibliographic assets.
