The consortium has expanded with the arrival of the Library of the Istituto Nazionale di Studi sul Rinascimento (1997), the «Ugo Procacci» Library of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure (1999), the Leonardiana Library at Vinci (2007), the Library of the Museo Nazionale del Bargello (2017) and the Library of the Fondazione Rossana e Carlo Pedretti (2019).
The member institutes have joined together to create a union catalogue (a shared bibliographic database) available in Internet to scholars all over the world. The IRIS catalog, by virtue of the highly specialised nature of these institute libraries, offers a resource unique in its richness, focussing on the Italian Renaissance, its art history (including material on the conservation and restoration of art objects), its history, literature, philosophy, political thought, science and music.
