The article begins by reviewing the extent of the holdings in the Ibero-American Institute of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (IAI) in Berlin, Germany. A two-year project is discussed which aims to index and automate selected articles from some 780 periodical subscriptions of the library, which specializes in studies of Latin America, Spain, and Portugal.

The article discusses the coverage and evolution of studies in the Early Modern Period (1500 to 1800) as it was documented and discussed in the German periodical "Historische Zeitschrift" (HZ). The era is generally treated as bounded by the Reformation and the French Revolution, and, in the case of German history, as focused on the rise and influence of Protestantism and the creation of modern Germany under the influence of the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic occupation of the region. The development of intellectual historiography around this era as reflected in HZ is reviewed through several decades of the periodical's publication.
