Conserving the Memory of Emigration
An historic archive to preserve memories of the thousands who left the Marche to find their fortune abroad has recently been launched in Ancona.

The project, organised the the Regional Authority's Centre for Cultural Heritage, aims to collect diaries, photographs, publicity material, letters, postcards and any other documents relating to emigration from the Marche between 1876 and 1976.

The archive, currently being overseen by consultant Professor Amoreno Martellini, will be divided into three sections; the first dedicated to personal memories such as letters and diaries; the second to images while the third will concentrate on other material such as administrative, health and publicity documents.

If you have anything that might be relevant such as letters, diaries, photographs, passports, certificates, guides, etc., maybe you would like to send the original or a copy to the archive at:

Archivio Storico per L'Emigrazione Marchigiana (ASEM)
Centro regionale per i Beni Culturali
Via Trieste, 21
60124 ANCONA
