EMPLOYMENT

When I began my archival graduate studies, I obtained a fellowship with the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, which allowed me to be a project archivist for three years, from 1974 to 1977. At the end of my term, the national competition for the State Archives was announced and, after one year of crazy study and written and oral exams, I won a full-time permanent state archivist position:

1978 – 1982      Archivista di Stato, Archivio di Stato di Roma

While in this position, I was responsible for the following fonds, for which I wrote inventories:

Eugenio Beauharnais
Congregazione di Sanità
Miscellanea del governo francese (1809 – 1814)
Camerale II. Camerlengato e Tesorierato
Computisteria generale, Divisione VIII (Soldatesche e marina)
Zecca
Camerale II. Consolati

While state archivist, I also taught at the archives school (1979 – 1983), and was a lecturer in records management for the staff of the provincial government of Rome (1980) and of the Italian ministry of education (1981).

In 1982, I won the national competition for a full-time permanent position at the University of Rome:

1982 – 1987      Ricercatore Universitario, Scuola Speciale per Archivisti e Bibliotecari, Università di Roma “La Sapienza”

During my tenure as a researcher in the professorial ranks of the University of Rome, I went on study leave to Canada, where I visited numerous archival institutions and was fascinated by the country and the people. In my travels, I visited the University of British Columbia for a week and lectured in a few classes. I so much enjoyed the environment and the energy of the program that Terry Eastwood was running all on his own, that, when a position was advertised for the archival program, I successfully applied:
