French and Italian Studies
French and Italian studies collections serve a wide range of programs
and institutes, many of which have their own sites on the World
Wide Web. Major constituencies include the History Department, the Departments
of French and Italian, Comparative Literature, and the
Stanford Humanities Center,
as well as scholars in other departments and research centers in
the humanities and social sciences, including other departments
in the DLCL (Division of Literatures, Cultures,
and Languages).
Overview of Curatorial Fields
Green Library’s collections in French and Italian studies
provide resources for a variety of programs and disciplines, with
material in a full spectrum of formats, including books, manuscripts,
microfilm, data files, online services, and information on the use
of those collections and related services. With a central focus
on language, literature, and history, the collections extend as
well into the culture, society, and politics of France, Italy, and
Francophone Belgium and Switzerland. Francophone literature of Canada
is included in the curator’s fields, while material from North
Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia are
mainly covered by other selectors. French and Italian studies also
play a significant part in disciplines within the scope of other
bibliographers, notably Medieval studies. Among the other
helpful sites for wider study of Francophone material or of allied
disciplines are African studies collections in SUL and Hoover,
International government organizations, the
Stanford Libraries Department of Special Collections, and the descriptions
of Art and Music
collections.
To help with the use of French and Italian studies collections,
the curator regularly offers a course in research methods and works
within other undergraduate and graduate courses and in individual
consultations to introduce students to Stanford’s resources.
Samples of syllabi and course handouts are available on request.
