The Olivetti Historical Archive Association conducts
research activities at a variety of levels:
Between 2008 and 2018, six research projects were completed on the following themes:
— the history of the Olivetti Management Board.
— the economic planning of the Company compared to the planning of other large companies and the national planning – reorganisation of work in Olivetti in the face of the great social and technological changes of the 1970s.
— Olivetti’s process of internationalisation between the 1920s and the late 1950s (Adriano period).
— Olivetti graphical drawings as episodes of a single narrative in which factory life is the protagonist.
— the Olivetti employee housing programmes in Ivrea, the role assigned to the Olivetti Employee Housing Advisory Office and the design and policy dynamics that contributed to shaping Ivrea’s residential landscape.
