Italian Newspaper Collection
In 2009, Richard Zavarella donated bound editions of Il Risveglio, an Italian language newspaper published in Dunkirk. They span the years 1922-1953 and represent a vital record of the Italian community in Chautauqua County. Digitzed copies of the newspapers can be accessed at the McClurg Museum.
