The Study Centre and Communication Archive (CSAC) of the University of Parma was founded in 1968. From its earliest years, its activities have been aimed at establishing a collection of art, photographs, drawings of architecture, design, fashion and graphics and at organizing numerous exhibitions and publishing catalogs. Since 2015, the CSAC Archive-Museum has presented itself as a multifunctional space, where the Museum areas are integrated with those of the Archive and the Research Centre.
