CAeB - Cooperativa archivistica e bibliotecaria

CAeB - Cooperativa archivistica e bibliotecaria is an Italian cooperative based in Milan that specialises in archival and library services. Its own website presents the organisation under the slogan "dal 1979 energia di persone e idee" (since 1979, energy of people and ideas), indicating that it has operated as a cooperative enterprise since 1979. The cooperative is registered in Milan, with its registered address at piazza Leonardo da Vinci 3 and administrative offices at via G. Mercalli 36, both in Milan. It is registered in the Milan business register and in the cooperative register (Albo coop. A104890), and it carries an Italian tax code and VAT number. As a cooperative, CAeB is owned by its worker-members rather than by external shareholders, and it is not listed on a stock exchange. Its business focus is the management, organisation and provision of archival and library services — a specialised field that includes cataloguing, document management, archive reorganisation, library support and related professional services for public and private clients. The name itself, "Cooperativa archivistica e bibliotecaria", explicitly identifies the two core domains: archives and libraries. The cooperative is a relatively small, specialised Italian enterprise. Public information about it is limited, but its official website and Wikidata entry confirm its identity as a Milan-based cooperative. Its long history since 1979 places it among the more established Italian cooperatives in the cultural-heritage services sector.

CAeB - Cooperativa archivistica e bibliotecaria was established in 1979, according to the founding date indicated on its official website ("dal 1979"). It was set up as an Italian cooperative, a legal form in which the enterprise is owned and governed by its members, typically the workers themselves. The cooperative is based in Milan, where it is registered in the local business register and in the register of cooperatives under number A104890. From its base in Milan, the cooperative has developed a specialised offering in the fields of archives and libraries. Its name reflects this dual focus: "archivistica" (archival) and "bibliotecaria" (library). Over the decades, it has provided professional services related to the organisation, cataloguing, management and preservation of documentary and bibliographic heritage, serving both public and private clients in Italy. The cooperative's registered office is at piazza Leonardo da Vinci 3 in Milan, while its operating offices are located at via G. Mercalli 36, also in Milan. The website presents the organisation with the slogan "dal 1979 energia di persone e idee", emphasising the cooperative's people-centred identity and its long-standing experience. As a cooperative, CAeB is not listed on a stock exchange and is owned by its members. Detailed public information about its internal governance, membership size and financial performance is not widely available, but its continued operation and active website confirm that it remains an active enterprise in the Italian archival and library services sector.
