Our History is Stored at Manitoba Archives
Caterina Sotiriadis
President, Manitoba Italian Canadian Archival Committee
On Monday, April 15, 2024 at 10:00 am, the Manitoba Italian Canadian Archival Committee, consisting of Cristina Campomanes (Vice President), Anna Dell’Acqua (Treasurer), Eliana Handford (Secretary), and Caterina Sotiriadis (President) handed over to the Manitoba Archives 101 videotaped interviews of many of the immigrant elders of the Italian-Canadian community of our province.
As well, several boxes full of historical documents, pictures, posters and albums that reflect the many contributions and accomplishments of our community were also given for preservation. (see picture)
For a full description of how the project unfolded and came to completion, please access the Transformations Canada website, or click here.
The Manitoba Italian Canadian Archival Committee would like to thank the Order of Sons and Daughters of Italy for their support.
We hope that those who come after us take up the torch and continue the preservation of our history and contribution to Manitoba.
