Archivio e Orizzonti is the umbrella section that brings together and presents the initiatives through which the Cagliari State Archives explores new ways of enhancing, accessing, and sharing its heritage.
This page has been designed to guide you through the Archive’s main project areas, offering a unified interpretation of the changes underway.
The contents are organised by thematic areas that bring together projects, initiatives and future prospects. They include interventions funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, understood as part of a broader process of institutional development.
Redevelopment and adaptation projects for the Archive’s spaces, to make them safer, more functional and welcoming.
Events and projects designed to expand access to the heritage by removing physical, cognitive and cultural barriers.
Projects that transform tools, processes and language, redefining the relationship between the Archive and its users.
Research, training and participation activities that bring archival knowledge into dialogue with society.
Spaces and infrastructures
It is the framework for renewing the spaces where a heritage that deserves to be shared with everyone is preserved and made accessible.
Within this structure converge the initiatives and projects through which the Archive plans and implements the renewal of its spaces, conceived as areas for preservation, work, and public access.
Interventions on buildings, systems and operational areas aim to create suitable, safe and sustainable conditions for safeguarding the heritage and ensuring full accessibility. Investing in places means taking on a long-term responsibility: ensuring that the heritage held in care can be preserved and made accessible in settings worthy of its historical and cultural value.

Versatility and accessibility
It is within this framework that we envision an Archive capable of gradually expanding access to its heritage, welcoming diverse audiences and multiple ways of engaging with it.
There are no ongoing projects in this category.
This framework brings together the projects through which the Archive works to broaden access to its heritage and services over time, recognising the diversity of its audiences and of the ways they engage with it.
The initiatives presented here approach accessibility as an ongoing process, encompassing not only physical spaces but also content, language, and mediation. The goal is to create an Archive that adapts, welcomes, and engages in dialogue, making its heritage comprehensible and usable for increasingly diverse communities.
Digital transition
Within this vision, we rethink digital tools, processes, and languages to reshape the Archive’s relationship with its users, ensuring it meets the demands of the contemporary world.
This area encompasses the projects through which the Archive rethinks digital tools, processes and language, with the aim of reshaping the relationship between the institution and its stakeholders.
Digital transformation is understood as a driver of structural change: it involves not only the adoption of technology, but also a review of practices for description, management and consultation. The initiatives within this area help build systems that are more open, interoperable and access-oriented, capable of meeting present needs and supporting the future development of the entire system.
There are no ongoing projects in this category.
Shared knowledge
This is the context in which we see archival knowledge being shared, passed on and circulated as an opportunity for discovery, connection and new perspectives.
This area brings together the initiatives through which the Archive aims to produce, share and circulate historical and archival knowledge as a way of engaging with society.
Research projects, training pathways, educational activities and events all help strengthen the Archive’s role as a place of cultural development and public dialogue. Knowledge is not treated as something reserved for specialists, but as an open, evolving process shaped through dialogue between the institution, scholars, students and communities.
