Photograph Library

A huge collection of photographs accompanies and illustrates the unique story of the Olivetti company and of all the culture directly associated with it or indirectly fostered by it. Hundreds of thousands of images taken throughout the course of the century, describing the growth of the company and its role in the transformation of the territory, from those now historic early shots up to the very latest industrial and cultural images.

Clearly then, originality, the characteristic of other sections of the Olivetti Historical Archives, can be applied to the Photograph Library, too: once again, sheer size and variety of subjects are the distinguishing features of a collection in which the company's operations constitute just one of the areas of interest.
A brief list of the photographic material in the Olivetti Historical Archives confirms this:
