FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The first phase of this project was realized through the financial support of the Institute and Museum of History of Science, by way of a grant from the Italian Ministry of Universities and Research, and through the financial support of the European University Institute in Florence. The second phase of the project, resulting in the creation of a new version of the database using Luna Insight software, has been carried out through the generous support of Stanford University Libraries and the Program in Science, Technology and Society at Stanford University.
