This service make you available the rasters of historical seismograms recovered and scanned as part of the SISMOS and
EuroSeismos projects.
There are more than 200,000 seismograms recorded in over 300 stations mainly of euro-Mediterranean area, over a period from 1895 to 1984. SISMOS staff recovers and scans the seismograms of a list of about 1,000 earthquakes, moreb than 700 of which are of the Euro-Mediterranean area. The scans are made at 1016 dpi grayscale and are available to you at a maximum resolution of 600 dpi.

Registration allows you to access the service at different levels of privileges established by the project partners of SISMOS and EuroSeismos.
Two different digital resolutions are available to users: a 200dpi preview and a 600dpi full-size.
The viewing and downloading of previews is allowed to all registered users, but files at 600dpi are:
