Italian American Memories Documentary Archive

The ITAMM Italian American Memories Documentary Archive  stemmed from the graduate course "Italian America: Translating Identities" taught by Prof. Ilaria Serra in 2017, and was founded by then graduate students Viviana Pezzullo, Federico Tiberini and Vincenza Iadevaia, with the later addition of Domenica Diraviam. They were featured in the  UP University Press. The Italian Studies program is proud and grateful for these students' work.


The project is an ongoing depository of archival material on Italian American History. It is constantly enriched by contributions from scholars, graduate and undergraduate students and fresh material elaborated during the GKA Hamma Kappa Alpha Research days at Florida Atlantic University.

Italian American Oral History Archive

The Italian Studies program supports the addition of the  Italian American Oral History Archive  to the FAU Library Oral History Collection, and its newest version in the  Digital Commons.
The Italian American Oral History Archive was  created and developed by the Italian faculty and graduate students of the Department of Languages Linguistics and Comparative Literature. It stemmed from the graduate course "Italian America: Translating Identities" taught by Prof. Ilaria Serra in 2017, which was attended by enthusiastic and capable graduate students.
This project produces interviews with Italian Americans living in South Florida to record and preserve the memory of an overlooked immigration, and to offer primary source material for researchers, educations and general public.
