Welcome to Renaissance Studies! This page will include resources for any level of Renaissance-related research, including digital sources that are open-access. Most resources will be English-language but the guide will specify when the source is not in English. For those just beginning their exploration into a Renaissance topic, the "Starting Points" page under "History and General Studies" includes a few introductory resources on the Renaissance. For those with more specific research interests, other resources have been divided by sub-discipline into History, Art & Architecture, and Interdisciplinary Approaches. The digital section includes Digital Humanities projects and digital image access sources. The final section, Interdisciplinary Approaches, includes newer sub-fields in Renaissance Studies such as Gender & Sexuality and Global Renaissance, which are frameworks through which modern scholars approach many of the other disciplines in the guide in conversation with other fields. As a note on scope, the Renaissance is defined differently across disciplines and regional focuses, so this guide will include relevant sources for overlapping temporal designations, such as Medieval, Early Modern, and Baroque. Each resource will include information on spacial and temporal scope, when necessary.
