Tracking a community: the Jesuit Digital Catalogs Database
The Digital Catalogs Database is the new digital resource being developed by the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies to facilitate research not only on the Society of Jesus before the suppression, but also on Modern History in general. By gathering all the information from the Triennales catalogs, the platform will perform qualitative and quantitative analyses over a long period of time on a complete and homogeneous sample represented by Jesuits recorded in the sources stored in the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu. The system is based on the unique recognition of each subject included in the database. Thus, the Digital Catalog Database will also allow for the integration of existing information into previous digital tools developed by the IAJS. Together with an introduction to the general characteristics of the documents intended to be included in the database, an overview of the inspiring principles of the project will precede the presentation of some examples aimed at understanding the potential of the digital tool.
