Summary | The collection consists
of manuscript materials, sound recordings, graphic materials (including color
slides, black-and-white negatives, and photographic prints), and moving images
collected during a field research project documenting Italian American
occupational, cultural, and religious traditions in several locations in the
western United States. Fieldwork was conducted in Gilroy, California; San
Pedro, California; Pueblo, Colorado; Carbon County, Utah; Walla Walla,
Washington; and several mining and ranching communities in Nevada by staff of
the American Folklife Center. The project was part of the Quincentenary
Celebration of Christopher Columbus sponsored by the Library of Congress in
1992. It produced a traveling exhibition and book of essays, both titled,
"Old Ties, New Attachments : Italian-American Folklife in
the West." |
