To start off the new year on a good note, I pass on the following link to a document and blog that has an extremely useful listing of historical periodicals that have been digitized by archives and libraries. The focus is on the work done by Italian institutions, but there are also entries for projects around the world.

The list, created by scholars at the Biblioteca Braidense di Milano and publicized out by the blog FilosofiaStoria, is organized by the name of the research institution that did the digitization work, not by title, but it provides a welcome overview of libraries, archives, and publishing houses that are actively digitizing their holdings. The actual descriptions are not very detailed, sometimes noting only a selected few of the periodicals actually available, but there are links to each institutions webpage to get you started.
The blog, FilosofiaStoria, offers an up-to-date survey of new resources for humanities scholars - journals, archives and primary sources, ebooks, podcasts - with a focus on Italy.

Medici Archive
The Medici Archive Project is accepting applications for its Introduction to Paleography and Archives online course. It sounds like a great opportunity for Italianists who want to work with early modern manuscripts and who are planning to use Italian archives for their research. And since it is online, you don't have to make any last-minute travel plans to Italy (as tempting as that may sound!)
From the announcement:
"The Medici Archive Project will offer in the 2010 fall semester its second online course in paleography and archival studies. This course is designed to increase access to the wealth of information contained in manuscript historical materials, particularly those from late fifteenth- through seventeenth-century Tuscany. This 12-week online course running from September 27th, 2010 to December 19th, 2010 teaches the requisite skills to read historical Italian writings, and offers a broad introduction to the nature of Italian archives. From the letters of Michelangelo to the inventories of the Medici family, the digitized documents used to train the course’s participants in paleographic skills will also expose them to a wide range of document types useful for art historical research."
