The Olivetti Historical Archive.
An invaluable heritage of Italian culture and entrepreneurship.
Founded in 1986 on the initiative of the then Secretary General of Olivetti, Paolo Mancinelli, in collaboration with the Adriano Olivetti Foundation and today considered of “considerable historical interest” by the Archival Superintendence Office for Piedmont and the Aosta Valley, the Olivetti Historical Archive safeguards and promotes collections relating to iconic Olivetti figures and the Olivetti Company, together with prominent collections and resources linked to business figures and enterprise.
The heritage preserved by the Olivetti Historical Archive Association consists of documents, letters, books, newspapers, magazines, posters, drawings, photos, films, audiovisuals, products, miniatures and models, etc.
