Following its membership in the regional SBN UM1 network in 2011 (Sebina Open Library, later SebinaNEXT), all new acquisitions catalogued since January 2012 are available through Umbria Cultura, the portal of the libraries of the Umbria Region, at the following link:
👉 https://opac.umbriacultura.it/SebinaOpac/.do
To perform a search, enter the title of the publication in the “Digita il titolo” (Enter the title) field on the left, or click on “Ricerca Avanzata” (Advanced Search) to search by “Author,” “Title,” “Subject,” or keyword (“Libera”), etc. In all cases, use the dropdown menu on the right to select “Perugia Biblioteca della Fondazione Ranieri di Sorbello,” then click on “Catalogo.”
The historic handwritten catalog of the Library of the Marquises Ranieri di Sorbello, compiled in 1802 by the Marquises Diomede and Uguccione III, has been digitized and made available online.
The digitization of the manuscript and the development of the website were carried out by Dr. Giulia Coletti as part of a research project funded by the European Social Fund under the POR UMBRIA FSE 2007–2013 program and hosted by the Department of Historical Sciences at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Perugia.

Newspaper and Periodicals Collection
The Emeroteca (Newspaper and Periodicals Collection) includes a selection of historical newspapers and magazines – both local and national – primarily from the 1930s and 1940s. Among these is the satirical Perugian publication Il Buffone, issued in only a few editions between 1945 and 1946.
