The Archive and the Library are composed of millions of documents of different types: from posters to drawings, from books to magazines, from videos to audio recordings. It is a heritage that tells the story of one of the largest Italian companies.
The heritage preserved and catalogued concerns the activities carried out over more than a century by the companies of the Olivetti Group. We are the custodians of a fundamental piece of Italian industrial history of the twentieth century.
The Library of the Olivetti Historical Archive specialises in the history of the Olivetti Company, its founders and those who have collaborated with the company. The collection includes, for the most part, monographs, grey literature, and periodicals from the Olivetti factory libraries. At the moment, the Library has more than 21,000 titles and since 2014 is part of the Library System of Ivrea and Canavese.
