In the frame of European Commission project "Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe" (SHARE), aiming at harmonizing seismic hazard a scale, compilation homogeneous, parametric earthquake catalogue was planned. The goal to be achieved by considering most updated historical dataset and assessing homogenous magnitudes, with support from several institutions. This paper describes SHARE Earthquake Catalogue (SHEEC), which covers time window 1000–1899. It strongly relies on experience "Network Research Infrastructures for Seismology" (NERIES), module dedicated create "Archive Historical Data" (AHEAD) establish methodologies homogenously derive parameters macroseismic data. AHEAD has supplied final list, obtained after sorting duplications out eliminating many fake events; addition, it dataset. Macroseismic data points (MDPs) provided have been processed updated, repeatable procedures, regionally calibrated against set recent, instrumental earthquakes, obtain parameters. From same data, epicentral intensity-to-magnitude relations derived, aim providing another homogeneous Mw estimates. Then, strategy focussed maximizing homogeneity location Mw, adopted. Special care devoted also supply uncertainty. focuses procedure adopted SHEEC briefly comments results.
