My Master’s Thesis from UMass-Boston Has Now Been Downloaded More than 28,250 Times!

I’m honored to report that my UMass-Boston History master’s thesis, From Italy to Boston’s North End: Italian Immigration and Settlement, 1890-1910, has now been downloaded more than 28,250 times by readers, educational institutions, non-profits, and other organizations from around the world! I’m also grateful that it is the number one downloaded thesis ever in the UMB History Department. Readers from more than 140 countries have downloaded my thesis – you can go to my UMB “Author Dashboard” and play around with the map and other cool features. Be sure to click “all time” in the top right-hand corner to get the total number of downloads since the dashboard began in 2013. And feel free to download the thesis yourself! My thesis eventually led to my book, The Boston Italians: A Story of Pride, Perseverance, and Paesani, from the Years of the Great Immigration to the Present Day, which was published in 2007.
