About Us
Our Mission
- We are introducing "Italians of Rhode Island: Tracing Our Roots," – a groundbreaking website dedicated to preserving the rich history and heritage of Italian immigrant families who made Rhode Island their home at the turn of the century. This platform serves as a digital repository, meticulously collecting and curating a comprehensive database that chronicles the stories, experiences, and contributions of these resilient families who played a significant role in shaping the cultural fabric of Rhode Island.
- Our mission is to pay homage to the enduring spirit of these Italian immigrants and their descendants, providing a space where their narratives can be shared, celebrated and passed down through generations. By meticulously archiving historical records, photographs, personal anecdotes, and genealogical information, we strive to create a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in understanding these families' profound impact on their adopted state.
- To ensure this vital project's sustainability and continued growth, we invite you to contribute to our efforts. Your monetary support will directly aid in funding the rigorous research required to trace the intricate roots of countless families, allowing us to delve deep into archives, connect with descendants, and piece together their stories. By offering a financial contribution, you become a vital partner in this endeavor, helping us preserve history and honor the sacrifices and triumphs of those who laid the foundation for the Italian-American community in Rhode Island.
- Join us in celebrating the legacies of the past and securing a brighter future for the generations to come. Your support will not only assist in preserving history but also foster a sense of connection, unity, and shared identity among the Italian-American families of Rhode Island. Together, we can ensure their stories are never forgotten, inspiring pride and a profound understanding of our collective heritage.
