Occupations, labor and production” (for the Como area) and the documentary film “From Manual to Electronic. XX Century work records” (for the Milan metropolitan area).
Three years of educational experiences and labs, carried out with middle and high-school students from the Milan and province area have allowed the production of hundreds of files containing the data gathered from the archive sources concerning more than 10.000 personal files on orphans from the Milan area between 1800 and 1959.
An extremely precious collection of data, graphs and documents, all freely accessible and focusing especially on the working-class activities, starting from the occupations chosen by the orphans to those of their relatives and employers.
