Summary/Abstract: We present the first results of a project of digitization of the whole Historical Archives of the Department of Astronomy of the University of Bologna. The original documents are being digitized both at low and high resolution and stored as metadata. The watermarked low–resolution images are being published online, so that researchers can easily preview the original and largely unpublished archival materials.
