Abstract
This paper demonstrates how historical research is a valuable tool for identifying past
geological, geomorphological and climatic hazards and therefore critical for mitigating and reducing
future risk. The authors describe the potential of a scientific field that straddles that of the geologist,
geographer, historian and archivist. Historical records include a range of materials and sources of
information, which can be very diverse; from written documents to cartographies, and from drawings
to marble tombstones. They are all useful and convey important data, on the date of the event, the
size of the phenomena, sometimes on ground effects, damage or magnitude. The authors discuss
how to conduct historical research by providing a list of locations and how important historical
documents can be found. Works that mention geological phenomena are listed, starting with the
first occasional descriptions by individuals in letters, up to very specific publications in individual
fields of interest. With this introduction, the editors of the Special Issue wish to draw attention to the
importance of historical documentation, which is too often ignored or considered of low priority by
the scientific community, but can contain key information on events, their impacts and social and
cultural adaptations.
