INAIL

Medici e scienziati italiani nell'Organizzazione Internazionale del Lavoro. L'Italia e la costruzione di un sistema globale per la salute e sicurezza al lavoro
The general objective of the project is to analyze the contribution that the ILO (International Labor Office) has produced in the field of occupational health and safety protection, delving into the contribution made by Italian scientists and doctors in an international context.
The research phase begins with the identification, collection and arrangement of historiographic sources in archives in Italy and abroad (such as the ILO Archives in Geneva) that preserve unpublished and hard-to-find informational documentation. In order to make these sources available to the project partners and in the future also to a wider scientific audience, the project envisages that the selected documents will undergo a thorough cataloguing operation.
Subsequently, the project envisages the creation of a repository through the acquisition of digital copies of the funds deemed of greatest interest. Actual implementation at the DBMS level and preparation for eventual publication on the Web is planned.
