Thanks to the participation of scholars and friends and to the support from public and private institutions and foundations (the German Study Center in Venice, the CARIVE Foundation in Venice, the Regione Autonoma della Sardegna and the Regione del Veneto) a large part of the holdings of the Archives have been cataloged. Most of the music manuscripts, nearly the entire library, the newspaper clippings and concert programs, as well as sound recordings and videotapes have been cataloged in computer database files. Nono’s correspondence and writings, as well as the tape collection are still in the process of being cataloged.

Color laser copies are being made of the more than 20,000 pages of music manuscripts, in which the use of color is of fundamental importance. This method makes it possible to produce copies which are true to the original in size and in color and can easily be managed and re-copied. The originals are conserved in acid-free folders placed in archival boxes and stored in a bank vault, in a controlled environment. This conservation project is subsidized by the Regione del Veneto.

The entire tape collection has already been transferred to Digital Audio Tapes which are now being remastered on CDs. The annotations on the boxes and reels are photocopied in color or photographed with a digital camera.

The same procedure will be applied to the audio cassettes. This project is sponsored by the Ernst von Siemens Foundation.

Photocopies have been made of newspaper clippings and articles from periodicals.
