Documents required for registration and renewal:

For people who wish to enroll in the Library, or who no longer have a card, access to Palazzo Farnese is only possible with the prior agreement of the library manager. An email must, imperatively, be sent to both the addresses bibliotheque.direction(at)efrome.it and accueil.bibliotheque(at)efrome.it at least one week before the required date of registration. The request must include a readable scanned copy of the following documents:   

• Valid ID;                    
• Registration form (in french);
• For professors, researchers, doctoral graduates : copy of PhD diploma and, if possible, professional card;    
• University enrollment certificate according to the category of students;
• Letter of introduction from the research director for students enrolled in the doctoral or postgraduate school course, or in the Master's course (in the latter case, only students enrolled at a French university are interested).

To renew the library card, only the following documents are required, and must be sent to the same e-mail addresses (again, at least one week before the required date):

• Valid ID;                    
• Registration form (in french).

The required date of registration or renewal (day and time) should be precisely indicated on the application form sent to both the addresses bibliotheque.direction(at)efrome.it and accueil.bibliotheque(at)efrome.it. It is possible to register at the Library from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm.

An application is not valid as a membership registration. Applicants must wait for the Library to reply to their request before coming to Palazzo Farnese. The reply which confirms the date has to be shown to the guardians at your first access to Palazzo Farnese.

We invite you to consult the page Get to the Library to know more about the access to the library.
