Facilitating the Preservation of 

Italy's History is our Mission

Facilitate the safeguarding and preservation of the endangered Italian Catholic sacramental parish records and ensure their accessibility. These unparalleled historical documents encapsulate the comprehensive narrative of Italy’s populace dating from the 16th to the 20th century. Our overarching objective is to establish an online research library, providing open access to the records and their associated extracted data, thereby benefiting scholars, genealogists, and the broader public. 

These registries are unique and contain priceless data as recorded in the ordinances kept by the Catholic Church.  Occupations, migration patterns, natural disasters, etc. can be studied through data obtained in these records.  They hold a treasure chest of information that must be preserved before it is lost forever.
