- Resumen
This article describes the research project on the dissemination of the experiences of the Italian immigrants who le Italy to venture to the New World at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century; people who anonymously constructed the nations. In addition, it delves into the process of adopting certain technological tools for the study and dissemination of this subject. e study of the Italian immigrant in Argentina at the beginning of the 20th century is a fascinating topic that can be approached from multiple perspectives. One of these angles is History which analyses Italian immigration through numbers, data that globalize the phenomenon but does not represent the individual narratives. Neither does this stop at explaining or disseminating the lives of ordinary people during significant historical events; those small moments in which everyday life is the protagonist. ese stories —and the documentation that proves it—are fundamental to understanding the immigration process when analyzed on a small scale at the individual level. For this reason, with the help of technological advances in digitization, we have created an academic digital website to share these stories and compare the experiences of these immigrants in the Americas. e page "Voices of Italian Immigrants: A Journey of Discovery" is a project that combines historical, genealogical, and archival research complemented with sociology, oral narratives, and social history.
