Foundation


The idea for the foundation of a Belgian historical institute in Rome for the identification and publishing of Italian sources relating to Belgian history came from the ecclesiastical historian Alfred Cauchie, professor at the Catholic University of Leuven.[1] He published a pamphlet to this effect in 1896.[2]


The institute was founded in 1902, in the Palazzo Rusticucci-Accoramboni, with Ursmer Berlière as its first director.



Publications


The institute has a strong focus on the publication of historical sources, primarily in the series Analecta Vaticano-Belgica.


The institute's Bulletin ceased publication in 2010 and has been replaced by a digital journal, Forum Romanum Belgicum.
