At a conference on the use of internet by libraries, archives and museums that I attended the other day (live blog here), Elena Farinelli brought up an interesting fact: if you search “Biblioteca Firenze” on google, only the BNCF comes up on the map. This is because Florentine public institutions, and also the private libraries in town, do not have sufficiently google-friendly websites or have not added themselves to Google Maps.

In order to resolve this problem and to provide a valuable resource to scholars coming to Florence for research, I have created a public, user-editable map of Libraries in Florence.
