European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data | AHEAD

AHEAD is a distributed archive aiming at preserving, inventorying and making available data sources on the earthquake history of Europe, such as papers, reports, macroseismic data points (MDPs), parametric catalogues, etc.
Opening date24 January 2013, continuously updated
Time-window1000 - 1899

European PreInstrumental earthquake CAtalogue | EPICA

EPICA 1000-1899, is a parametric catalogue of European historical earthquakes compiled in the framework of the EC Project SERA. EPICA builds on the current version of AHEAD, which supplied both the list of earthquakes, obtained after sorting duplications out and eliminating fake events, and the most updated historical datasets.
