News

• Publication of the inventory of the small Sardinian Consulate archive in Thessaloniki. This archive is preserved in the Historical Diplomatic Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It consists of only two volumes: a copy-letter and a register of deeds drawn by that office. The description of the deeds reveals who approached the Consulate and the reasons for doing so. The signatures of the parties, and especially those of the witnesses, are not always easy to read, and I have sometimes been unable to provide precise details. To this end, I have attached photographs of the signatures in these instances. I would therefore like to invite anyone who can transliterate and/or read those names to share their knowledge by contacting me.

• Publication of a guide to the documentation produced by the consulates of the Kingdom of Sardinia in the Ottoman Levant and North Africa. The reconstruction of the consular network in the years 1825-1859, the life of the officers, news and histories of the proconsuls and dragomen.
