Abstract

The paper illustrates the historical problems and the technical solutions adopted to create the section of Graziani Archives portal dedicated to Antonio Maria Graziani’s private library. The purpose of this section is to offer an entire catalogue of the volumes belonged to Graziani, trying to reconstruct the general outline and the internal articulation of Graziani’s collection as well as the historical sources that allow us to virtually reassemble his own library.
