The Italian-American community that built Ward 8 left behind memories that no archive holds. If your family lived, worked, or worshipped in Auburn's Italian neighborhood — on Columbus Street, Clark Street, or Genesee Street — we want to hear from you.

We're especially interested in recollections of the families named in this book: the LaNovara, Calarco, Cibella, Graceffo, Indelicato, and Santino families, and the broader Siculiana community that settled in Ward 8. Photographs, letters, and documents are all welcome. Every piece of community memory matters.

This form is also open to media inquiries and literary correspondence.
