 Personal
stories make history come alive. By means of photographs,
oral histories, and other documents we experience life in
early Alberta through the eyes of immigrant Italian
pioneers.
Listen to the voices of Italian immigrants to Alberta as
they tell their stories in their own words. A number
of people from Alberta's Italian community were interviewed
over the past 30 years during several
Oral History Projects.
Read their biographies, listen to excerpts, and read
summaries - or, in some cases, full-length transcripts - of
the interviews.
See photographs from personal family albums spanning the
years and generations in the Photo
Gallery. They depict many facets of the Italian
community in Alberta - family and working life, pioneer
days, life in Italy, and events of social, political,
religious and cultural significance.
Read about the people of Alberta's Italian community in
the newspaper articles throughout
Il Congresso.
Short biographies of many of the Italian pioneers can be
read, not only in the Oral History Projects section, but
also in the Italian Pioneer sections of the various regions
of Alberta.
