The collection of scientific
instruments are being catalogued according to the national standard
STS (http://www.iccd.beniculturali.it/standard/index.html)
distributed by the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione
del Ministero per i Beni Culturali. The already catalogued sections
are presented here. For every object there is a chart containing a
selection of the data collected and processed. It is comprised of
object name, date or estimated date of construction, author, materials
when noted, the instruments form and dimensions and in addition a
colour image.
It is possible to consult the charts via the branch of physics, given
categories in which each object is referenced, or by a name or author
search.
Some of the information found in our catalogue is included in ISIN(http://www.isin.org)
an international database of scientific instruments developed by
the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford, in collaboration
with the Scientific Instrument Commission of the International Union
of the History and Philosophy of Science.
Also available are printed
catalogues relative to the catalogued sections.
