The Library and Archive, owned and operated by the city of Florence, was founded in August 1945 as a restoration and replacement of the Museo del Risorgimento di Firenze founded in 1901. As of 2020, the Library and Archive's holdings include about 30,000 volumes of heritage documents, 550 volumes of periodicals, two 16th century books, ten current periodicals, one hundred discontinued periodicals, bibliographical funds, manuscripts, and a large iconographic collection from the Risorgimento period.
Collections were seriously damaged by the 1966 flood of the Arno.[4][5] Nonetheless, the facility and collections were restored and the Library and Archive reopened in 1969.
The Library and Archive is in the same building as:
The Biblioteca comunale centrale di Firenze (it) [Central Municipal Library of Florence]
The Accademia toscana di scienze e lettere La Colombaria (it) [the Tuscan Academy of Sciences and Letters, "La Colombaria"]
The Museo e istituto fiorentino di preistoria (it) [the Florentine Museum and Institute of Prehistory]
In 2007, Italian Senator Paolo Amato (it) (born 1954) during Italy's 15th Legislature (2006–2008), introduced a Bill to restore of the Museum of the Risorgimento in Florence, partly in commemoration the 150thanniversary of the unification of Italy (2011). The Bill states that the museum had been open to the public only nineteen years, from 1909 though 1938, and was dismantled in 1945, after World War II.[6]
Complesso delle Oblate (it) (Oblate Complex) – former monastery dating back to 1288, now, as of 2007, the municipally owned and operated Oblate library, a state-of-the-art multifunctional center.
