The James J. Periconi Collection of Italian-language American imprints offers a unique insight into what Italian immigrants to the United States were reading, writing, and thinking about at the end of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. The Collection is housed at the Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library, Special Collections and Archives, Queens College, City University of New York.
