To mark the annual “Quante storie nella Storia” event – a week dedicated to teaching and heritage education in archives, which for the past twenty-five years has brought together conservation institutions, schools and research bodies – the Ferrara branch of ISMed is co-organising and contributing to the session ‘Traces of the History of the Ferrara Chamber of Labour: from its archives to other records’. One hundred and twenty-five years after its creation, the archival collection of the Ferrara Chamber of Labour will be presented; it is held and promoted by the Municipal Historical Archive and has recently been reorganised and catalogued.
