Dear IDARM Network member,

IDARM (Italian Diaspora Archive Resource Map) co-directors invite existing and potential partners to an in-person gathering at the Heinz History Center between October 9 and 11, 2024.

During a series of structured and unstructured sessions; workshops; and a keynote presentation by Daniel Pitti, participants will have ample opportunities to better understand IDARM’s goals and vision; share information and seek guidance about their own collections; better understand the resources made available by IDARM’s NEH funding; and develop new networks around the Italian experience in this region. Further, this three-day discussion will allow the project co-directors to collect even more granular data related to the IDARM survey and provide opportunities for participants to interact with each other, the IDARM network partners, and Daniel Pitti.  

If you cannot join us for the full meeting. please consider coming for a day or two.

With gratitude,

Melissa, Lina and Nancy
