Abstract
The Special Collections at the I Tatti Harvard University Center for Italian Studies are part of the Biblioteca Berenson, a research library originally formed by art connoisseur and art historian Bernard Berenson (1865–1959) and today made up of over 250,000 books. The Special Collections comprise the rare books and manuscripts collections as well as the archives. The Fototeca collection of photographs is a connected but separate entity of Special Collections. Anyone is welcome to use these collections by simply making an appointment in advance of their visit.
