Archival Documents website
The Archival Documents website is currently a project in search of a sponsor. Tom Henry had the idea of creating an on-line resource for Art Historians, to enable those working in his field to:
- check archival documents relevant to their subject matter without always needing to travel to the archive;
- hone the necessary skills in deciphering, translating and transcribing archival material;
- publish archival material online, in support of conventionally published scholarly texts (publishers often being reluctant to include voluminous quotes from or reproductions of archival material in art historical books or articles);
- collaborate to extend the coverage of the website and to improve the transcriptions and translations of archival documents, under the aegis of an expert editorial committee.
Tom has carried out the initial development of the Archival Documents website together with Artem Pavlenko (who has provided the technical know-how: find out more about Artem’s other projects here). At present it contains a sample of documents relating to Signorelli, to demonstrate the capabilities of the resource.
You can view the Archival Documents website by clicking here. However, until construction is complete, access to the document section of the website is by login and password.
