Vatican City Archives and Libraries

Catalogues - Archives: “The automated catalogue of archival holdings kept in the Archival Section of the Vatican Library is still at the drafting stage and includes partial data taken from inventories. Wherever possible, complete entries include also a choice of digital images. The encoding of the descriptive elements conforms to the EAD specifications and uses XML syntax.The system (data archive, authority index and search engine) has been entirely developed using open-source Java/XML technology.” http://opac.vatlib.it/iguana/www.main.cls?sUrl=homeARC&language=eng
