Library resources, services, events, exhibitions and special collections

The library was established in 1913 by the nucleus of the book collection of the Royal Higher Institute of Forest Sciences of Vallombrosa and preserves valuable editions. The book collection now has about 50,000 volumes.

Materials published before 1989 are not always available on our online catalogue, but only on the printed ones.

The library owns these special collections:

• Fondo Vallombrosa
  
• Fondo Serpieri 
  
• Fondo Maugini  
  

At the end of the book you will find a presentation of these collections in a nutshell.
