<strong>The</strong> Istituto centrale per il restauro e la conservazione del patrimonio archivistico e librario (Central Institute for<br />
the Restoration and Conservation of Library and Archival Heritage) was established at the beginning of 2008<br />
with the goal of merging into a single organisation the skills and instrumentation necessary for library heritage<br />
and archival materials conservation, both of which were formally provided by the Istituto centrale per la<br />
patologia del libro and the Centro di Fotoriproduzione legatoria e Restauro degli Archivi di Stato, respectively.<br />
<strong>The</strong> newly-formed institute is a branch of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities; its chief<br />
function is to undertake cutting-edge research in the fields of conservation and restoration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> institute is one of Europe’s centres of excellence for the formulation and establishment of methodologies<br />
and norms, and plays an intensive role as a consulting body to assist in finding solutions to conservation and<br />
restoration problems arising in Italy's state libraries.<br />
<strong>The</strong> institute is currently carrying out the digitization of 4,500 watermarked sheets of the Corpus Chartarum<br />
Italicarum. <strong>The</strong> collection illustrates the history of paper production in Italy from the 13 th to the 20 th century.<br />
<strong>The</strong> project will carry out strictly non-destructive measurements of sheets’ physical characteristics.<br />
