Archivi e biblioteche alla fine del Granducato di Toscana in uno scritto di Galeotti

Abstract

In 1855 Leopoldo Galeotti publishes an important essay on the recently established Central State Archive of Florence in Archivio Storico Italiano. The lawyer from Pescia, also thanks to the advice provided by the director of the Archive, Francesco Bonaini and his collaborators, constructs an effective summary of the works to be done to gather together and organise the Florentine public archives, and provides important suggestions to connect not only the archives but also the libraries of the Tuscan capital to the new threads emerging in historical research.
