L I B R A R Y A N D A R C H I V E the Italian Ministry for Higher Education and Research and involving five Italian universities. This project also includes the creation of a new website: BSR Library and Archive Digital Collections. The digitised images from the catalogued photographs will be accessible on this site and it is hoped that, in the future, other material — including maps, prints and engravings and manuscripts from the Library collection and documents from the Archive — will also be available. Two pilot projects have already been completed: a selection of maps of Rome digitised by the Bibliotheca Hertziana as part of the Catalogo Illustrato delle Piante di Roma Online project and 100 miscellaneous prints from the Thomas Ashby collection funded by the Australian Research Council. The material has been catalogued by Beatrice Gelosia, Deputy Librarian. The Getty Foundation Grants, therefore, have been fundamental for the development of the BSR Library and Archive over the past seven years, not only funding the cataloguing of over 25,000 images from the Photographic Archive and a new dedicated website, but also stimulating our participation in related international projects, facilitating our fundraising activity, and creating opportunities for outreach: exhibitions, publications, seminars and courses in the history of photographic techniques organised by the BSR Archivist, Alessandra Giovenco. We are profoundly grateful. The Librarian was honoured to receive an invitation to spend a week at the Getty Research Institute in October, meeting curators and staff and discovering the wealth of remarkable resources, which was a very useful and stimulating experience. This followed the symposium Sir William Gell and the Topographical Imagination, held at the Getty Villa, at which both the Director and the Librarian gave papers on the manuscripts held in the BSR Library. Other news. The number of outside readers using the Library has continued to rise and the graph clearly shows the dramatic increase. It is, once again, only thanks to David 36 The numbers of outside readers using the BSR Library Packard’s generous support, through the Packard Humanities Institute, that we can continue to provide an efficient service and welcome all scholars to the Library. The lack of space is also a recurrent problem and some areas of the Library are already full. However, we have exceptionally agreed to accept a bequest from the estate of Piero Lugli, son of Giuseppe Lugli (the archaeologist and friend of Thomas Ashby), who expressed the desire that part of his Archive, mainly relating to his father, should come to the BSR. This will be housed in the BSR Archive office. We were saddened by the news that Michael Mallett, Rome Scholar in 1957 and Assistant Director/Librarian from 1962 to 1967 passed away in September 2008. The BSR Library has been named as a beneficiary and we have selected a number of books from his library. It is with pleasure that we have incorporated these into the Library’s collections and our sincere condolences and thanks go to Luke and Alex Mallett. Valerie Scott Librarian
