Why donate?
The conservation and preservation of historical memory is not one of the 'emergencies', real or putative, that occupy the headlines. Nevertheless, the material loss or impossibility of consulting a manuscript - a unique object that can never be reproduced in its entirety - entails damage that is difficult to underestimate: a piece of history disappears forever.
Our aim is to prevent the interruption of the material transmission of centuries-old knowledge that has reached us and for which we are responsible.
In order to cope with a large number of unique documents that are in a poor state of preservation, the APUG strongly advocated the installation of an in-house restoration lab. Given the scope of the work, as much help as possible is needed. Thanks to institutional donations and the generosity of small donors, numerous codices have been saved over the past few years.
The Archivio Storico of PUG understands the valorisation of its fonds as a complex process in which practices such as daily and preventive conservation, cataloguing, special treatments for the partial or total consolidation of codices, the eventual restoration of the document, up to the putting online of the digitised manuscript to allow both critical study and scientific dissemination.
The Historical Archive of the WYP conceives its work as a complex process in which practices such as daily and preventive conservation, cataloguing, special treatments for partial or total consolidation of the manuscripts, the eventual restoration of the document, up to the putting online of the digitised manuscript to allow both critical study and scientific dissemination are linked.
