Laura Bassi, a noted 18th-century Italian scientist and Europe’s first female professor, left behind 6,000 pages of intriguing documents that describe her life and work. They now rest in the archives of the principal municipal library in Bologna, Italy, safe but not accessible to the world at large.
That is about to change. Stanford’s libraries have teamed up with the Bologna library and the Istituto per i beni culturali della Regione Emilia-Romagna
to scan Bassi’s archives and make them easily accessible online later this year.
“Bassi was widely admired as an excellent experimenter and one of the best teachers of Newtonian physics of her generation,” said Paula Findlen, a Stanford history professor and a noted expert on Bassi.
Bassi experimented in her house, which she shared with her husband, Giuseppe Veratti, also a scientist, and their eight children. “Her home was known as a place for interesting and unusual things to happen,” said Andrew Herkovic, the director of communications and development for Stanford’s libraries.
