Description
The project aims to make the oldest and most valuable part of the Zeri Library's auction catalogue collection available to the public. It consists of 1,900 volumes in six different languages, published between 1879 and 1929, a crucial year in the history of the art market. The project involves the complete digitisation of all the catalogues, their publication in the AMS-Historica University Digital Library and the creation of a dedicated platform for advanced, multi-level use of the volumes' content by art historians.
