The Italian-American Historical Society of Connecticut

Our Mission:
To embrace and preserve the history of our immigrant ancestors. This will allow future generations to more fully understand and appreciate past efforts and sacrifices which made it possible for us to be where we are today.

Founded as the Italian-American Historical Society of Greater New Haven, Inc. on June 15, 1979, its purpose as a society was to cel­ebrate and perpetuate the concept of the Italian heritage in America.

The society is now known as the Italian-American Historical Society of Connecticut.
