Description
This seminar examines the many forms early modern archives can take, how they were created and preserved, and how modern historians can use them. From visual and material collections to digital and private archives, we examine the exciting ways that scholars have re-imagined and re-narrated the early modern past through archives. With each week focusing on a different approach and/or archival genre, we considers not just how documentary collections have been and continue to be created and curated by individuals and institutions, but also what stories have been left out, ignored, or suppressed and why. The seminar includes two field trips to local archives in Florence, to learn how their collections were developed. We will also host several historians and archivists who will introduce us to their methodological strategies and archival engagement.
