Where they Create Archivists: from the Parchment to Bits

Through the historical illustration of the evolution of archival teaching methods, both at university level and within specific training, the authors attempted to answer several questions about how the archivist should develop training. What should be the purpose of these courses? What subjects should be included in the training curricula of the third millennium archivists? These and other questions were tried to be answered by illustrating two case studies: the historical evolution of the teaching given at the Special School for Archivists and Librarians and the description of the experience of the course of military archives held in December 2016 at the Historical Office of the General Command of the Carabinieri.
