The Unified Information System of the Archival Superintendencies (SIUSA), created
and maintained by the General Directorate for Archives in collaboration with
Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, describes the public and private archival
heritage which is preserved out of the State Archives, hence it is not under
the control of the government but is directly administrated by the Archival
Superintendencies.
SIUSA - The Archives of Tuscany gives access to information on the
archival heritage in the Region of Tuscany, which is ruled by the
Archival
Superintendency for Tuscany.
The Archival Superintendency for Tuscany has been working for years at the
development of SIUSA, after entering in the System data describing the various
types of archives located in the regional territory (such as: municipal archives,
archives of physical persons and families, of dioceses and parishes, of corporate
bodies and associations, of assistance and charitable institutions, of universities
and educational bodies, of enterprises, of religious organizations, etc.).
Those information are continuously updated and extended thanks to the contribute
and collaboration of the Region of Tuscany, ruled by a formal agreement.
SIUSA joins together short descriptions of the archives and of their content,
information on corporate bodies, physical persons and families who produced the
archival documents, and on the institutions preserving the archival documents.
SIUSA is thus a guide to the archival funds, with their internal partitions, that
allows, after browsing such information through various relations, to reach in
some cases even the analytical description of the archival documents.
