The Collection Digital Catalogue

The database is a tribute to Paolo and Laura Mora’s legacy and it is intended that it will grow and be enhanced over time with more information about the samples.

The database is the result of several years’ work. It contains a record of every sample in the collection with associated data found in the ICCROM Archives and through online research. Despite the intensive work undertaken, for many of the samples, the available information is not yet complete. Many lacunae are present which we hope can be filled in the years ahead. We welcome all contributions from specialists who have links to the collection, and all the users are invited to provide feedback to help us improve and correct if necessary the uploaded information.

If you wish to cite any of the records in the database, please use the following citation format:

Currently the database comprises over 3 000 images of the samples within the collection. These were taken of the front, reverse and profile surfaces of the samples to give the most complete overview of their features. The images are saved in TIFF format in high resolution, with a maximum image size of 2.500 pixels (equivalent to 20 cm when printed at 300 dpi). Additionally, the database contains photos from ICCROM Archives and other governmental and private entities.
