Boffito Collection: Pamphlets

Area:	Library
Start:	1 February 2006
End:	26 May 2006
Description:	In November 2003, thanks to the Region of Tuscany, the library of the Institute and Museum of the History of Science received a gift of the scientific part of the personal library of Giuseppe Boffito (1869-1944), scholar of multiple interests and well-known science historian. The collection, previously housed at the Collegio "Alla Querce" of Florence, is made up of approximately 3,000 works (monographs, pamphlets and periodicals) mainly dealing with historical-scientific topics and published between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. In February 2006, under the direction of Anna Corinna Citernesi, the arrangement and the cataloguing of the unbound pamphlets (ca 900 items) was begun, and they are now available to scholars and consultable via the library's online catalogue using traditional search methods. From the OPAC entry page (http://biblioteca.imss.fi.it/LV2_1bin/LibriVision), clicking on "Boffito Collection" accesses a list in short format ordered by author.
