Register or Login to view.I have very recently been contacted by two different researchers wanting to look at my very large 15th/14th century cipher archive. However, I would really like to be contacted by researchers wanting to help me expand my cipher archive.

Last year I visit the Milan State Archives to see if I could locate more ciphers. This was interesting, although I was unable to locate any surviving ciphers from a period 1425-1439 that I am particularly interested in. I intend to visit the Biblioteca Bonetta in Pavia and the University Library in Pavia later this year unless someone else does the work beforehand.

I think it would be of value for someone to search the Vatican Apostolic Archives for early 15th century ciphers. I intend to do this at some stage if nobody does it.
There are other archives which may well be worth searching.
Is there anyone else who is up for doing archival research in Italian archives?

I live in Italy, more precisely in Padua. I travel a lot around the country, so if you have any specific requests involving an archive near a major city, I can probably help
