Written on personal note, this article explores the intellectual significance of archives and libraries, leads into a broader meditation on the roles and values of archives and libraries within cultural heritage, and, using historical anecdotes – from Alexis de Tocqueville’s archival research in Tours to Luigi Einaudi’s diligent study of fiscal history – illustrates the irreplaceable value of archival work in reconstructing the past. It also reflects on how the digital revolution is reshaping the field, enabling new forms of access and interpretation.
