Digital Collections
A digital insight into our resources
The Digital Collections platform brings together some of the most remarkable and unique materials housed in the Library and Archive repositories. Two of the most significant BSR holdings – the Thomas Ashby and the Dora & Agnes Bulwer photographic collections – are now available for consultation alongside one of the Digital Humanities research projects relating to the collection of the topographer and antiquary William Gell.
The new webpage includes a ‘Highlight’ section, in which research projects, theme-based presentations, virtual exhibitions and new digital content are presented. Work on our digital data continues, and we shall be adding more collections and enhance digital content in the forthcoming months.
We are working towards making all our collections available online but for now the following archives can only be accessed in Rome by subscribers and library members by appointment with the Archivist.
