The Venetian Republic maintained a record of diplomatic correspondence, which since 1817 has been housed in a former Franciscan convent, according to Rawdon Brown filling "no less than 298 of the spacious halls and chambers ... ." Brown further noted that, "the shelves occupy the whole of the space from floor to ceiling; the book-cases have a linear extent of 17,438 feet [more than 3.3 miles] and the volumes are stowed in double rows, so packed as to economize space to the utmost." This archive has proven a rich primary source for European and Middle Eastern history.
