Our website and app are intended to help scholars, travelers, and local populations understand the appearance of historic monuments prior to modern change: their position in the landscape, their rich furnishings (tombs, altars, pulpits, painted ceilings, mosaics, altarpieces), and their role as statements of dynastic authority.

This database, imminently online, is a compendium of historic images of sites and cities from Grand Tour travelers, architects, photographers, and other sources that are now scattered through museums, archives and libraries in Europe and the United States. Initial funding for this project was with a Collaborative Research Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The goal is to collect archival material from libraries, museums and archives of American and European collections, in order to enrich scholarly research on monuments in South Italy that often have been destroyed by war, damaged in the earthquakes (common in that area), or profoundly transformed by restoration. It is directed by Caroline Bruzelius (Duke University) and William Tronzo (UCSD) with Paola Vitolo (Università di Catania) as the Coordinator. It will be available on-line by the end of 2015. Its structure allows it to be an open access online repository that can grow and evolve as new information is found and becomes accessible.
