First there was the Museo Clarence Bicknell , which goes back to Clarence Bicknell , and which was founded in 1888. It mainly collected exhibits on botany and related prehistory. Bicknell left its foundation to Bordighera Commune when he died in 1918. For five years the municipality tried to relocate the museum, but the founder's heirs, Margaret and Edward Elhanan Berry , prevented it. Berry, who succeeded in transforming it into a tendency company or institution ( ente morale autonomo ) in 1924 , expanded the collection to include works of art, but also historical artefacts and those of folk culture.

In 1932, the year Berry died in Rome, the first historical and archaeological institution was established to deal with Liguria, namely the Società Storico-Archeologica Ingauna e Intemelia . It was named after the Ligurian tribes of the Ingauni and the Intemelii , who lived in the vicinity of the founding place of Albenga . Margaret Berry became one of the first members (soci). The seat of the institution was the Museo Bicknell, head of the Istituto di studi liguri was from 1937 to 1977 Nino Lamboglia. The English Margaret Berry, however, had to leave the country under pressure from the fascists. The head office of the institute became the former Hotel Scandinavia.

In 1947 the institution was renamed the Istituto Internazionale di studi liguri , which also signaled to the outside world that the work on Liguria should now take place across borders with French scientists. With Liguria now all areas were meant in which Ligurians had ever lived.

Of the 21 sections, 16 are in Italy, three in France and two in Spain; the section there sees its framework within the boundaries of the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis .

The institute publishes the specialist journal Rivista di studi liguri , and since 2003 as a further annual Ligures journal . Rivista di Archeologia, Storia, Arte e Cultura Ligure .

The painting collection includes works by Pompeo Mariani (1857–1927), Hermann Nestel (1858–1905), Friederich von Kleudgen (1846–1924), as well as furniture from the Villa Hanbury.
