The Annals are a collection of volumes that trace the history of the Fabbrica del Duomo from 1387 to 1875. The six volumes published so far are available online in searchable and downloadable PDF format, accompanied by indexes and appendices guiding users in their searches in this rich depository of information.
The variety of the archival heritage preserved in the Archives of the Veneranda Fabbrica reflects the complex history of the institution. In addition to accounting records, minutes of meetings and payment orders, there is also a rich photographic archive, a collection of drawings and the archive of the Music Chapel. This material, together with the publications kept in the library, provide a complete overview not only of the history of the Duomo, but of the entire city of Milan.
