Il progetto di digitalizzazione del patrimonio storico della Biblioteca di Area Agraria dell’Università di Napoli “Federico II”

The Library of Agriculture Area and the Museum Centre MUSA, both belonging to the University of Naples “Federico II”, made an agreement in order to cooperate, to recover and to promote the book and documentary holdings and the heritage of the eighteenth-century Royal Palace of Portici, which was the home of the first Regia Scuola Superiore di Agricoltura, and nowadays accommodates the seat of the Department of Agriculture. The project of digitization of the rich book heritage and of the collections of the Museum Centre MUSA (herbaria, collections of hemps and tobaccoes, etc.) is the cornerstone of the cooperation. This essay is about the organisation and the criteria of fullfillment of this project.
