L’insegnamento dell’archivistica presso la prima università romana ha, ormai, oltre novant’anni di storia. Una storia che nasce con Eugenio Casanova e si sviluppa attraverso insegnamenti affidati ad esponenti di spicco dell’Amministrazione archivistica. Il paper, qui presentato, intende illustrare come questa compenetrazione tra Università e Amministrazione archivistica ha condizionato lo sviluppo dell’insegnamento della disciplina. Infatti, se si analizzano i programmi dei corsi svolti dal 1925 ad oggi ci si accorge che, accanto agli aspetti più puramente teorici, largo spazio è lasciato alle esercitazioni pratiche presso istituti archivistici, quasi a ribadire il fatto che l’archivistica sia una disciplina che richiede competenze che vanno oltre la mera teoria.

Abstract
The teaching of archival science at the Sapienza University of Rome is now over ninety years of history. A story that began with Eugenio Casanova and develops through teachings entrusted to leading representatives of the archival administration. The paper presented here is intended to illustrate how this interpenetration between universities and archival administration has conditioned the development of the teaching of the discipline. In fact, if you analyse the course programs from 1925 to today, you will notice that, alongside the more purely theoretical aspects, ample space is left for practical exercises at archival institutes, as if to reiterate the fact that archival science is a discipline that it requires skills that go beyond mere theory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
