Memory games
In 2012, the Library of the University of San Marino in collaboration with the then Department of Communication, explored the theme of games and "memorabilia, i.e. gift items, gadgets, games, magic tricks, memorabilia of all kinds, which in any way were linked to memory, and to the act of remembering" (Eco, 1998) drawing up some of the cataloging cards and organizing the "Memory Games" conference.
On the occasion of the same conference, a video was also created by animation entitled “Memory landscapes”, directed by Massimo Salvucci, for the enhancement of games and wonders.
Publications
Il Center for Memory Studies of the University of San Marino, in collaboration with the Library, has created a series of six volumes entitled “Lectures on memory” (Guaraldi editions); they report the interventions discussed during the days of the "Memory Games" conference.
The University has also published the catalog of the ancient section of the Fund in several editions.
The memory library
In 2015, the University Library, with the scientific supervision of the Center for Studies on Memory of the University of San Marino, started the digitization project of the ancient section of the Fund Young, to enhance the collection, promote its knowledge and use and safeguard the printed originals, thanks to the support of two important San Marino partners: BAC (Commercial Agricultural Bank) and Data Project (a company specializing in IT services).
