The Data Banks on Italian emigrants to the United States, Argentina and Brazil http://213.212.128.168/radici/ie/defaultie_e.htm USA The United States data bank was created by Temple University - Balch Institute - Center for Immigration Research (Philadelphia), directed by Ira Glazier. It contains the files on about 200,000 Italian emigrants recorded in the Ship Passenger Lists who arrived in New York between 1880 and 1891. ARGENTINA In Argentina work was conducted by the Centro de Estudios Migratorios Latino Americanos, directed by Luigi Favero. The Argentinian data bank is made up of 1,020,000 files on Italians who arrived in Buenos Aires between 1882 and 1920. The information is taken from the disembarkment lists (Registro general de los inmigrantes and Lista de inmigrantes). BRAZIL Work in Brazil was directed by Aurelia Castiglioni (University of Espirito Santo) and Mauro Reginato (University of Turin). The data bank is mainly based on information taken from the embarkment registers of ships leaving Italy, to which have been added checks and additions through other archive sources. The information covers about 27,000 Italian emigrants who arrived in Vitoria between 1858 and 1899. The Giovanni Agnelli Foundation publishes a semiannual journal dedicated to the Italian emigration and communities in the world, "Altreitalie".
