The Italian Olympic committee CONI announces the "Sports Digital
Library" project to coincide with the centenary of its establishment.
The project originally aimed to preserve, through digitisation, the
archive of Italian sports journals, such as Il littoriale, La ginnastica
and Annuario sportivo.
It has now evolved to provide enhanced access to the digitized copies of
many historically significant newspapers published between 1868 and
1970.
This searchable database will be permanently maintained by CONI's
library services and be freely accessible via the Internet.
An accompanying newspaper directory of bibliographic and holdings
information on the website will direct users to the newspaper titles
available.
CONI will continue, in the following years to digitize a significant
number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collections.
The website is reachable directly at http://emeroteca.coni.it or through
the banner inserted in the CONI website http://www.coni.it for any
further information on the project please contact the National Sports
Library at bns@coni.it.
