Did you know no other source has recorded the everyday lives of Italians in such depth and breadth from the 1500s through the 1900s? By papal decree (Council of Trent, 1545-1563), ordinances were documented and kept by the parish scribes detailing names, births, marriages, deaths, occupations, and census information. Socio-economic conditions, the devastating after-effects of natural disasters and sporadic outbreaks of the plague, complex human migration patterns throughout Italy over the centuries – all can be studied and analyzed through parish records. Hand-written on old paper that has deteriorated over time they need to be digitized before they are inextricably lost.
