Abstract
The 100th anniversary of Bruno Touschek's birth also marks 60 years since the first beams of electrons and positrons circulated in AdA, the first ever matter-antimatter collider built in Frascati National Laboratories following Touschek's visionary proposal of February 1960. A brief biography, an extensive bibliography, and a description of archives containing documents related to the life and science of the father of electron-positron physics are presented.
