The Documentation Centre represents the major structure through which the Foundation carries out its statute aims.

The Documentation Centre is not merely a library, since it involves a complex range of advice services for identifying and using appropriate documentation sources, and for planning training and cultural actions and projects. This activity is addressed either to users who visit the Documentation Centre during the opening days, or to those who turn to the Foundation through its Internet website or by e-mail.

Besides users’ care and assistance, the Documentation Centre carries out a continuous activity concerning monitoring, analysis and organization of statistical and document sources in order to help even a non-expert public using them properly. Furthermore, the Centre carries out an intense editorial activity aimed at promoting knowledge and information circulation.

Over the years, the Documentation Centre has consolidated its role as major documentation centre in Italy on the themes of international migrations and inter-ethnical coexistence, and has established and developed a wide range of cooperation and inter-exchange relationships with the most outstanding European resource centres.

The documents owned by the Centre include:

• 8945 volumes filed basing on the PC system (Procite, a system allowing searches through key words)
• subscriptions to 300 periodicals
• 582 video-cassettes
• 103 DVDs
• 18 CDs
• reviews
• news
• on line reviews
• grey materials

All authors and promoters of studies and inquiries are invited to send a copy of their works to our Documentation Centre.
