Summary
In April 1990, a group of 28 Dutch archivists went to Rome and the Vatican
to visit the main archives and some historical institutes. The trip was underta
ken in order to find out more about the Italian archival situation and to get
acquainted with the Italian colleagues. Visits to the Central State Archive, the
State Archive of Rome, the municipal archive of Caprarola (one of the few
smaller Italian towns that can boast a municipal archive of its own) and the
extensive archives of the Vatican were among the highlights of the trip. The
archives are described in detail: archival systems, organization, automation
etc. The author also reports on archival legislation, the training of archivists
and matters concerning archival inspection in Italy.

Bijlage
Donato Tamblé, Carta del patrimonio archivistico europeo (1983)
Engelse vertaling
EUROPEAN CHARTER OF ARCHIVAL HERITAGE
This text has been prepared by Donato Tamblé on behalf of Italian National
Archival Association (a.n.a.i.) and it has been approved on the 20th National
Archives Congress Rieti, 5-8 November 1983.
Art. 1 The European Archival Heritage consists of all archival property
existing in the single European Nations, belonging to governments or privates
and with international, national or local character; this Heritage represents
the main expression and evidence of European history and has to be commi-
ted to future generations in its original and authentic state.
Art. 2 Every damage, dispersion, destruction of archival property compro
mises its full utilization for administrative, research and knowledge purposes
undoing the feeling of continuity of history. Every fraudulent damage of the
European archival heritage is an indictable offence.
Art. 3 The European archival Hertitage is a common and organic treasure
of knowledge and of spiritual, cultural, social, juridical and economic value,
which has been constituted in more than two millennia. Every generation re
flects in documents its institutions, its thought, its activities and its archieve-
ments, constructing tessera by tessera and day after day a gigantic mosaic with
thousands of figurations: nobody has the right to take away or remove any
part it-because every tessera-that is every archival unit-is bound to the
others by an articulate and stratified complex of mutual relations which is an
essential element of the particular and complexive intrinsic meaning.
The organic preservation of the European archival Heritage is the foundation
of the study and a warrant of the growth of many disciplines which find in
the archives their permanent research laboratory for study and control.
Art. 4 The safeguard and the arrangement of the archival Heritage have in
Europe a very old tradition which has achieved with the centuries definite cha
racteristics and scientific exactitude: in particular the principles codified since
the xix Century constitutes an organic system which is the basis of modern
archival science.
Art. 5 It is very meaningful that general liberalization of the access to archi
ves, and their use being no longer confined to administrative purposes and ru-
lers'interests, but free for all citizens and for researches of any kind, occured
for the first time in Europe.
On this liberalization - a real declaration of the archival rights of man - is ba
sed the progress of historical studies and research.
