RECENT AND CURRENT PROJECTS

Digitalizzazione in Phaidra: “Educazione e istruzione tra Sette e Ottocento” (Phaidra Digital Collections: “Teaching and education in the eighteenth and nineteenth century”)
2015-2016
The Educazione e istruzione tra Sette e Ottocento project involved the digitisation of a number of the museum’s old books, specifically 18th and 19th-century textbooks and compendiums, thus providing researchers with access to a rare body of documentation on the education of children that would not otherwise have been available online. Assessment and quality control was entrusted to a semi-independent librarian. The project was made possible by funding from the University Library Centre (CAB).

Designing and producing the museum’s education website
2015
Against a wider backdrop of events marking the centenary of the Great War, and as part of the Donne e Prima Guerra Mondiale in area veneta (“Women and the First World War in the Veneto”) project organised by the Veneto branch of the Italian Society of Women Historians (SIS) in conjunction with the Veneto regional authorities (Office of the Assessor of Education, Training and Employment), a new website was developed to publish the historical sources held at the Museum of Education. The site is designed to be used by educators and students at all levels of schooling.
Thanks to the funding provided by the SIS, which allowed the project leaders to bring the University Multimedia Centre (CMELA) on board, the site is already available online. It introduces visitors to a number of lesser-known aspects of the First World War, such as the role of women, the experiences of children, and school life during the conflict.
