Archivi Consolari is a research project that publishes inventories and archival descriptions of pre-unification Italian consular archives (1815-1860). The project also offers authority records, subject keywords, place indexes and digital objects.

The project is edited by Costanza Lisi. Its stated aims are to make consular archives openly accessible, to add standardised access points to the content, to reconstruct Italian communities abroad, and to identify the main activities of Italian nationals. It is aimed at researchers and historians.

Published material includes inventories of Sardinian and Tuscan consulates in the Levant, North Africa, Malta, Genoa, Rome and Jerusalem, and a 2024 repertoire of the Sardinian consular network in the Ottoman Levant and North Africa, published by Celid in Turin. The project's work is also linked to the journal RiMe, the Rivista dell'Istituto di Storia dell'Europa Mediterranea.

Product: Online archival inventories, authority records and digital objects covering pre-unification Italian consular archives.
