Digital Experience

LUIGI EINAUDI FOUNDATION

A reference point for free and inclusive research

Reply has launched the new digital presence of the Luigi Einaudi Foundation: a new digital positioning, online portal, and an impressive digitalization of the statist archive.

A new digital presence for the Luigi Einaudi Foundation

The project aims to define the new digital presence for the Luigi Einaudi Foundation, with the goal of enhancing and sharing the rich cultural heritage in its care.

Through the new portal, besides the promotion of events and initiatives, the Foundation tells its own story and allows the community to search through and consult part of its collection: over 30,000 items of content including volumes and archive papers. This allows the Foundation to fulfil its mission, making knowledge increasingly more accessible.

Improving society through the study of social sciences

The Foundation experienced a crucial time of reflection of its own identity, the main theme of which was: how to achieve goals and guidelines in an extremely different social, cultural and academic environment. But if on the one hand these changes concerned new languages and communication tools - digital and engaging - on the other hand the user's behaviour had also changed, modifying the ways of researching in the Italian university landscape. A new approach was essential to give easier access to the Foundation's resources and activities, in particular to the library and archive which are to offer free and inclusive access to knowledge.

A clear purpose: read the past, while reading the present

In this context, it became clear that the Foundation's digital presence had to be redesigned, taking into consideration not only the new message to be conveyed, but also the channel used, so that it could reach new target audiences and communicate with them. Then there was the challenge of making sure the precious heritage in the Library and the Historical Archive remained even more accessible: standardising the use of content, enriching it with new digitised content, and efficiently reorganizing it in the new digital archive.

The Foundation's online presence has been redesigned by converting the website from an educational approach to an engaging one, through narrative and functional paths that highlight its identity: not only archive and library (constantly enriched), but also scholarships, publications and the promotion of seminars and conferences.

The Digital Archive is based on a Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution and currently contains:
