Recent studies on the conservation and promotion of historical-educational heritage in Italy have been informed by the Spanish, Portuguese, and French historiographical traditions, as well as by new lines of inquiry concerning the material culture of schools and the construction of school memories. Based on scholarly analyses and field research outcomes, the present paper outlines the goals to be pursued in order to develop a solid line of inquiry into this theme within Italian history of education. A particular focus is brought to bear on the issue of sources, and it is sought to show that the use of novel sources, alongside those traditionally drawn on by historians of education, can contribute to advances in key research domains, such as the history of educational thought, educational institutions and educational practice, as well as more recent areas of study such as the history of material culture in schools
Il tema della conservazione e della valorizzazione del patrimonio storico-educativo in Italia è stato avvicinato dagli studiosi in tempi recenti, sulla scorta dell’influsso della storiografia spagnola, portoghese e francese, nonché dell’avvio di nuovi filoni di indagine inerenti alla cultura materiale della scuola e alla costruzione della memoria scolastica. Sulla base dell’analisi svolta dai ricercatori che se ne sono interessati e delle esperienze compiute in questo ambito, l’articolo evidenzia gli obiettivi da perseguire per accreditare questa tematica anche nel nostro Paese. Nello specifico esso si sofferma sulla questione delle fonti, cercando di mostrare come il ricorso a nuove fonti, in aggiunta a quelle tradizionalmente usate dagli storici dell’educazione, può contribuire a fare avanzare ulteriormente sia alcuni degli ambiti più frequentati della ricerca in questo settore, quali la storia del pensiero pedagogico, delle istituzioni educative e della prassi didattica, sia quelli accostati più di recente, come la storia della cultura materiale della scuola.

Abstract
Recent studies on the conservation and promotion of historical-educational heritage in Italy have been informed by the Spanish, Portuguese, and French historiographical traditions, as well as by new lines of inquiry concerning the material culture of schools and the construction of school memories. Based on scholarly analyses and field research outcomes, the present paper outlines the goals to be pursued in order to develop a solid line of inquiry into this theme within Italian history of education. A particular focus is brought to bear on the issue of sources, and it is sought to show that the use of novel sources, alongside those traditionally drawn on by historians of education, can contribute to advances in key research domains, such as the history of educational thought, educational institutions and educational practice, as well as more recent areas of study such as the history of material culture in schools
