The collections of documents, correspondence, and books constitute the Historical Archive of the Brivio Sforza, Barbiano di Belgiojoso d'Este and Trivulzio families. A valuable collection formed over the centuries, which today the Foundation promotes through initiatives aimed at its preservation, study, and dissemination.
The Brivio Sforza Documentary Fund collects materials produced by the family between 1251 and the 20th century, reorganized in the 19th century. It includes a historical core of 124 folders, initially cataloged by the archivist Guido Colombo, author of the "Rubrica Archivio Brivio Sforza," which was destroyed in 1943. The fund includes series dedicated to Properties, Inheritances, Families, and Property Acts, as well as the Miscellanea Brivio Sforza, curated by Annibale Brivio Sforza, and the Correspondence, with chronologically ordered letters from various family members.
