The cartographic collection of the State Archive of Rome online. Archival issues and digital models

摘要

Summary: the State Archive of Rome hosts a very relevant cartographic heritage, produced by architects, engineers and technicians at the service of the Papal State or for individuals. Many of these maps and drawings are together in large map collections, but many others are still in their archival context.The paper describes the story and structure of these series, the areas of interest of the Collection, focusing on waterworks maps and the role of cartography in the birth of hydraulics disciplines.A second part of the paper deals with the new finding aid of the “Collezione I” and the work that was made to migrate new descriptions on an online digital library service, analyzingboth by the content and the technical point of view.
