The
joint URBS database includes the holdings of the individual
Libraries specializing in the humanities: archaeology, history, history
of art and architecture, philology, patristics, law, pedagogy and
sociology.
The catalogue is accessible via an OPAC
(Online Public Access Catalogue) which includes a bilingual authority
file (English/Italian) for names and subjects. Bibliographic records
are available not only for monographs and periodicals
but also for photographs,
prints, musical
scores and recordings,
and electronic
resources.

Currently
being catalogued and digitized:
The Photographic Archive of the American Academy in Rome holds valuable
and specialized collections of photographs on archaeology, architecture
and art, landscape architecture and gardens. These works are also
important for the history of photography, as they document the activity
of photographers and scholars from the second half of the 19th century
(Parker) through the 20th century (Moscioni, Van Deman, Askew, Masson
and Bini). Special collections include the Berman collection of stage
and costume design and the Fellows' Work collection, which documents
the individual and collaborative projects of Fellows and Visitors in
the School of Fine Arts at the American Academy in Rome, 1910-1958.
In addition to its own collections, the American Academy also houses
the Fototeca Unione, founded by Ernest Nash and donated to the Unione
Internazionale degli Istituti di Archeologia, Storia e Storia
dell’Arte in 1957. The Photographic Archive continues to grow,
particularly in the areas of Roman archaeology and topography.
The Photographic Archive of the British School at Rome holds
collections of unique historical photographs which total over 120,000
prints and negatives (for details see www.bsrome.it).
These include calotypes, glass-plate negatives, film negatives (nitrate
and cellulose acetate), photographic prints (albumen, aristotypes and
silver-gelatin paper prints), historic postcards, cardboard-mounted
slides and lantern slides. The collections include photographs of
archaeological sites and the topography of Italy and North Africa;
Greek and Roman art (especially ancient sculpture); European art and
architecture from the Medieval and Renaissance periods.
The Photographic Archive completed a three-year project (2002-2005),
funded by The Getty Foundation, for the cataloguing of three
collections: Thomas Ashby, Dora and Agnes Bulwer and Rev P.P. Mackey.
Thanks to this project it is now possible to consult the catalogue
records and the images on the URBS catalogue.
