A Research Facility on American Ethnic Groups

FAIN: RO-12101-72

Rudolph J. Vecoli (Project Director: September 1972 to present)

For some years the Univ. of Minnesota has been gathering in its Immigrant Archives the records of ethnic groups of Central, Eastern, Southern European and Middle Eastern origin. NEH funds will be used to defray the staff and operating expenses of preserving and processing the ethnic records and making them available for research. The goal is to create a research facility for students of American ethnic groups.
