Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started. Dear ARLISERS,

Just a note to announce that the Medici Archive Project in Florence has launched its interactive archive, BIA.

From the site:

The Medici Granducal Archival Collection (Mediceo del Principato)--among the most exhaustive and complete court archives of early modern Europe--is one of the most frequently consulted collections at the Archivio di Stato di Firenze. Over the past fifteen years, the Medici Archive Project has been using computing technologies to facilitate scholarly research on this collection. With BIA’s launch, the Medici Archive Project will double its online text content and it will inaugurate a new digital imaging function by putting online 120,000 digitized documents—a number that will continue to grow. Additionally, BIA will enable community sourcing with new applications for online manuscript transcription and its online forums for scholarly discussion. Scholars anywhere in the world will now transcribe, edit, and comment on archival material in the database, collaborating in real time and making use of the forums to share expertise and knowledge.

The Project home page, with access to the Archive, is at: http://www.medici.org/

My interview with Lisa Kaborycha, Director of Academic Affairs of the Project, can be found here: http://library-cafe.blogspot.com/2012/11/lisa-kaborycha_13.html

Do pass this on to your Renaissance/Early Modernist colleagues.

Happy Holidays,

Tom
