Abstract:
    The Asiago photographic archive has been searched for plates
    containing the symbiotic stars Hen 2-468, QW Sge, LT Del, V407 Cyg,
    K 3-9, V335 Vul, FG Ser and Draco C-1. A total of 635 plates imaging
    the program stars have been found and the brightness estimated using
    the Henden & Munari (2000A&AS..143..343H) UBV(RI) photometric
    sequences. These historical data have allowed for the first time the
    determination of the orbital periods of Hen 2-468 (774 days) and
    QW Sge (390.5 days), a significant improvement in the orbital period
    of LT Del (465.6 days) and for V407 Cyg an evaluation of the Mira's
    pulsation period and complex lightcurve shape in the red (R and I
    bands). Some previously unknown outbursts have been discovered too.
