Databases

This section brings together the online databases of various correspondence collections. These databases are listed by period: medieval, early modern, 19^th century and 20^th century. Although we do not currently have the capacity to produce an exhaustive list, our goal is to provide a list that is at least representative. We rely here, however, on our colleagues, particularly specialists in different historical periods. We are always grateful to hear about any databases that could be added to this list.
