Purpose of the paper: This paper aims to demonstrate how a type of cultural heritage such an archival collection can be turned into a non-conventional museum which would not be based upon the exhibition of objects, but on the transmission of knowledge using the mechanism of storytelling. Methodology: The paper analyses the case of the Historical Archives of the Banco di Napoli, which is part of the Foundation of the same name, and in particular on its museum project called ilCartastorie. Results: The paper allows a model to be made from this experience, with a transferable approach to cultural heritage contexts involving printed material (essentially archives and libraries), by delineating a conceptual and operative framework for the creation of historical museums which primarily use the technique of storytelling. Research limitations: In light of the fact that this is the presentation of a single case study, the limitation of the research lies in the specificity of the subject matter of the research and its condition as a private holder of cultural heritage which is of interest to the public; from this point of view, the principles of transferability may clash with the regulatory and procedural limits found in the public sector, which holds a large part of the cultural heritage found in archives and libraries. Practical implications: From an operational point of view, this paper provides the essential coordinates to be applied to the promotional model, while adapting them to other contexts. Originality of the paper: Traditional archives very rarely and in completely different ways move towards an integrated project of promotion and, when applied, it is usually based on the mechanism of “exposition” of the archival documents and not on the narrative process of the content of those same documents. The originality of this paper lies essentially in the specificity of the subject matter of the research: an archival collection which uses storytelling for the transmission of knowledge.

Obiettivo del paper: Il paper intende mostrare come un patrimonio culturale di tipo archivistico possa essere oggetto di una musealizzazione non convenzionale, non fondata quindi sull’esposizione ma sulla trasmissione di conoscenze basata sul meccanismo della narrazione di storie. Metodologia: Il paper analizza il caso dell’Archivio Storico del Banco di Napoli, di proprietà dell’omonima Fondazione di origine bancaria e, in particolare, del suo progetto di museo denominato ilCartastorie. Risultati: Il paper consente di “modellizzare” un approccio trasferibile in altri contesti di patrimonio culturale di tipo cartaceo (essenzialmente, archivi e biblioteche), delineando un framework concettuale e operativo per la creazione di musei storici incentrati sullo storytelling. Limiti della ricerca: Trattandosi della presentazione di un caso di studio, il limite della ricerca è dato proprio dalla specificità dell’oggetto di analisi, cioè un soggetto privato detentore di un patrimonio culturale di rilevanza pubblica; in questa prospettiva, i principi di trasferibilità del modello descritto nel paper si possono ragionevolmente scontrare con i limiti normativi e procedurali del settore pubblico che, in larga misura, detiene il patrimonio culturale di tipo archivistico. Implicazioni pratiche: Dal punto di vista operativo, il paper fornisce le coordinate essenziali per applicare il modello di valorizzazione presentato, adattandolo ad altri contesti. Originalità del paper: L’originalità del paper risiede essenzialmente nella specificità dell’oggetto di analisi, un archivio storico, per il quale in casi rari e in modi totalmente differenti, si procede ad un progetto integrato di valorizzazione e, laddove esso viene attuato, si basa su meccanismi di “esposizione” dei documenti d’archivio e non su processi di narrazione dei contenuti dei documenti stessi.

Abstract

Purpose of the paper: This paper aims to demonstrate how a type of cultural heritage such an archival collection can be turned into a non-conventional museum which would not be based upon the exhibition of objects, but on the transmission of knowledge using the mechanism of storytelling. Methodology: The paper analyses the case of the Historical Archives of the Banco di Napoli, which is part of the Foundation of the same name, and in particular on its museum project called ilCartastorie. Results: The paper allows a model to be made from this experience, with a transferable approach to cultural heritage contexts involving printed material (essentially archives and libraries), by delineating a conceptual and operative framework for the creation of historical museums which primarily use the technique of storytelling. Research limitations: In light of the fact that this is the presentation of a single case study, the limitation of the research lies in the specificity of the subject matter of the research and its condition as a private holder of cultural heritage which is of interest to the public; from this point of view, the principles of transferability may clash with the regulatory and procedural limits found in the public sector, which holds a large part of the cultural heritage found in archives and libraries. Practical implications: From an operational point of view, this paper provides the essential coordinates to be applied to the promotional model, while adapting them to other contexts. Originality of the paper: Traditional archives very rarely and in completely different ways move towards an integrated project of promotion and, when applied, it is usually based on the mechanism of “exposition” of the archival documents and not on the narrative process of the content of those same documents. The originality of this paper lies essentially in the specificity of the subject matter of the research: an archival collection which uses storytelling for the transmission of knowledge.
