The goal of Iter (meaning “a journey” or “a path” in Latin) is to increase access to all published materials pertaining to the Renaissance (1300-1700) and, eventually, to the Middle Ages (400-1500), through the creation of online bibliographic databases. Iter is a non-profit research project with partners in Toronto, Canada (the headquarters), New York City, and Tempe, Arizona.

The components of Iter are:

• Iter Bibliography - citations for journal articles, reviews, review articles, bibliographies, catalogs, abstracts, discographies, monographs, and material published in monographs and collections of essays pertaining to the Middles Ages and Renaissance (400-1700)
• Iter Italicum - online version of Paul Oskar Kristeller's Iter Italicum, the most comprehensive finding list available of previously uncataloged or incompletely cataloged Renaissance humanistic manuscripts found in libraries and collections all over the world
• RQ Online - full text of current issues of the journal Renaissance Quarterly, eventually going back to volume 53 (2000)
• International Directory of Scholars - detailed information on the research and teaching careers of Renaissance scholars around the world
• Scholars of Early Modern Studies - online edition of Scholars of Early Modern Studies, volume 34, summer 2000
• International Directory of Renaissance and Reformation Associations and Institutes - online edition of the International Directory of Renaissance and Reformation Associations and Institutes, originally published in 1993 and updated through 2001
• Baptisteria Sacra: An Iconographic Index of Baptismal Fonts - information about the project and guest access to a sample database
• The Electronic Capito Project - text of letters from and to Wolfgang Capito which are either unpublished or have been published before 1850
