Habsburg Logbook – Naval Heritage & Collections 2026 No. 2

Habsburg Logbook – Naval Heritage & Collections is an e-paper newsletter dedicated to the study of the collections, expeditions, and material legacy of the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Navy.

Following the publication of the inaugural issue of Logbook – Habsburg Naval Heritage Collections in March 2026, it can be reported that the response from the scholarly community and interested readers has been overwhelmingly positive.

The newsletter has reached researchers, museum professionals, collectors, and maritime historians across several countries, confirming the need for a dedicated platform focused on the maritime and naval heritage of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Gratitude is expressed to all those who have subscribed, contributed information, shared news of current projects, and sent encouraging comments and suggestions. The numerous messages received over the past months have demonstrated the vitality of this growing network and the wide range of ongoing research activities in the field.

It is therefore a pleasure to present the second issue of Logbook. Once again, this edition brings together current information on research, collections, exhibitions, publications, and projects related to Habsburg maritime and naval history.

Conceived as part of an open and flexible research network without a fixed institutional framework, the newsletter encourages collaboration and dialogue across disciplines and institutions. Experts, researchers, and institutions are warmly invited to subscribe and to contribute to this exchange.
