In our library, the section for magazines and reviews is a particularly qualifying one and one that we expect to develop significantly. In addition to the periodicals that we are already able to locate for you, new periodicals have been added, as a result of the subscription campaigns now in progress.
Generally speaking, the criterion for taking out new subscriptions, particularly as regards foreign periodicals, will be to privilege the publications that are not already existent and available in the area of Prato and Florence. Our intention, in fact, is to add to the cultural store to which scholars and historians can have access for their study and research, by paying special attention to the less well-known areas of research and less heavily consulted sources
The idea of making sources available on line is an outgrowth of the same
view of " service to scholars ", as it will enable them to consult
the PERIODICALS of economic and social history on file in a number
of the libraries of the Prato and Florence area, from wherever they happen
to be. In addition to the Foundation's own library, the operations of indexing
involve, to begin with, the " Istituto culturale e di documentazione Lazzerini " of Prato,
the State Archives of Prato, the Library of the Faculty of Economics at
the University of Florence and the Library of Church Archives, in which
we can find many periodicals of local Historical Societies.
The list is not complete yet, but it is already possible to observe which
publications we indexe first. We planned to proceed by degrees, making available
indices " in progress ", starting from the extensive collection
of periodicals available in our own library. For each publication, we first
offer the indices of the most recent issues, proceeding gradually back in
time to complete the entire collection, updating it with the new issues
as they come out.
The service includes a search engine that makes it possible, using the name of the author or a term contained in the title, to accelerate bibliographical research.

From April 2002, our service offer you new opportunities. We activated cooperation
with a similar service: " Magazine Stacks ", edited by Stuart Jenks
& Dieter Rübsamen, from Stadt- und Universitäts-bibliothek
Frankfurt. From 1997 they offer periodicals' indices, prevailingly
edited in english and german language.
Fron now on, we are concentrating our work to check periodicals specialized
in economic and social history and periodicals edited in mediterranean and
East european languages, while they are continuing to check periodicals
in english and german language.
From both server, you will can to consult through links to both archives.
