The Advanced Laboratory of Historical Seismology (CFTILab), was designed with two distinct but complementary targets. The first target was to make available to a wide specialist and non-specialist public – scholars, civil protection officers, teachers, students, professionals, simple onlookers – the IT tools that today allow the analysis of the data provided by the Catalogue of Strong Earthquakes in Italy in its most advanced version, namely CFTI5Med (http://storing.ingv.it/cfti/cfti5/). In addition to making it possible to parameterize individual events, the various tools developed allow (1) the effects of different shocks that occurred in the same geographical area to be analyzed all at once, (2) the data proposed by different seismological databases to be compared, and (3) the large earthquake sequences of the past to be investigated in detail. The second target was to build a dynamic archive - and as far as possible an exhaustive one - of all that the Italian tradition of earthquake study has been able to produce. The CFTILab portal makes available all the materials that have been used for the elaboration of the Catalogue of the Strong Earthquakes in Italy, the numerous publications that resulted from the analysis of the catalogue data, the original historical sources, and a large archive of iconographic material, just to mention the main collections that the reader will find on the portal.
