Although many earthquake studies have already examined the past seismicity of this area, they contain only a few data for a handful of earthquakes, for an area known to be characterized by a high level of seismicity. Against this fragmentary seismological knowledge stands a 50\u00a0yr abundant production of local documentary sources of different types and in diverse languages. For this reason and because most of the available sources had not been yet nor systematically looked into in the search for testimonies of earthquake effects, an ad hoc and comprehensive investigation was carried out. The number of records on earthquake effects is huge as well as unexpected, and the quality of the collected records is high. The 147 new macroseismic European Macroseismic Scale 1998 intensity values, accurately assigned on the basis of independent contemporary records only, are presented in the form of timelines of earthquake effects for the main towns of the four islands of Corfu, Kephalonia, Lefkada, and Zakynthos. Besides partially amending the gaps of the knowledge of these 50\u00a0yr of seismicity in the Ionian Islands, the great amount of freshly collected data suggests that historical seismological research may effectively contribute to improving the seismic scenarios of past earthquakes in many areas of the world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1785\/0220200056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,24]],"date-time":"2020-06-24T13:39:41Z","timestamp":1593005981000},"page":"2554-2562","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Documenting Earthquakes in the United States of the Ionian Islands, 1815\u20131864"],"prefix":"10.1785","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Paola","family":"Albini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Milan, Italy"},{"name":"ORCID ID: 0000-0003-4149-9760"}]}],"member":"790","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9781139195430","volume-title":"Earthquakes in the Mediterranean and Middle East: A Multidisciplinary Study of Seismicity up to 1900","author":"Ambraseys","year":"2009"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf2","first-page":"1","article-title":"M\u00e9moires sur les tremblements de terre dans l\u2019ile de Zante","author":"Barbiani","year":"1864"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf3","volume-title":"Notes and Observations on the Ionian Islands and Malta: With Some Remarks on Constantinople and Turkey","author":"Davy","year":"1842"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf4","author":"Gazzetta Jonia","year":"1817"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf5","volume-title":"Xenocracy\u2013State, Class and Colonialism in the Ionian Islands, 1815\u20131864","author":"Gekas","year":"2017"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf6","volume-title":"Historical and Topographical Essay upon the Islands of Corf\u00f9, Leucadia, Cephalonia, Ithaca and Zante","author":"Goodisson","year":"1822"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf7","volume-title":"European Macroseismic Scale 1998 EMS-98","author":"Gr\u00fcnthal","year":"1998"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf8","volume-title":"Sketches of the Medical Topography of the Mediterranean","author":"Hennen","year":"1830"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf9","volume-title":"The Ionian Islands: Aspects of their History and Culture","author":"Hirst","year":"2014"},{"key":"2020090215483123600_rf10","first-page":"195","article-title":"Contribution of historical information to a realistic seismicity and hazard assessment of an area.
