Archival Research of Italian-Canadian Immigration and Culture
Archival Research of Italian-Canadian Immigration and Culture exhibits undergraduate research with Italian-Canadian Narratives Showcase (ICNS).
History and Purpose of Online Exhibits
Archival Research of Italian-Canadian Immigration and Culture was established by Sandra Parmegiani and Teresa Russo at the Ninth Annual ICAP Conference in 2019 for the purpose of encouraging and showcasing undergraduate research in the field of Italian Canadian Studies. Students research national, provincial, and local city archives to learn more about Italian immigration to Canada, Italian heritage and traditions, and Italian-Canadian contributions. The projects are initiated in Italian Canadian Studies courses taught by Dr. Teresa Russo and culminates into an undergraduate conference presentation at the end of each term. A selection of the academic posters is published here as contribution of Italian-Canadian Narratives. The publication of these academic posters inaugurated with the Ninth Annual ICAP Conference at Brock University.
