  Margherita Hack observed with the Galileo telescope at the Asiago
Astrophysical Observatory from September 1951 to March 1954. Using the
spectroscopic facilities of the observatory, Margherita contributed to the
stellar study of novae, symbiotic stars, and peculiar stars. In the 80th
anniversary of the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory and the 100th year of
Margherita, we found her observations in the Asiago Photographic Plate Archive
and we remade some Margherita's observations with the current capabilities of
Asiago telescopes. We present here a summary of the early studies carried out
by Margherita with the Galileo telescope. We underline the importance of
maintaining a well-organised plate archive to allow historical and scientifi c
studies.
