The Ce.Do.Ri.C.A.
was created by the mutual concordance between the Comune di Perugia, the Provincia
di Perugia, the Regione dell’Umbria, the Dipartimento Uomo & Territorio
of the University of Perugia, the Fondazione Angelo Celli per una cultura
della salute, the Sovrintendenza Archeologica per l’Umbria, the Centro
Studi Americanistici “Circolo Amerindiano” and with the collaboration
of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia.
This project is intended for the protection, valorisation and for letting to
the complete public disposition of all the patrimony that the Centro Studi Americanistici
“Circolo Amerindiano” has put together in 30 years of activity.
We intend as patrimony:
- the documentary material on the American Continent: Museum (650
ethnographical objects, museum reproductions and scale models), Library (more
than 8 000 volumes, pamphlets and other documents), and the Audio and Video
Documentation Centre (tens of thousands of photographs, slides, audio and
video cassettes and DVDs);
- the activities: an International Congress of Americanists (30 editions),
the publications (the review Thule, the Quaderni di Thule and monographic
editions), the research projects (in first place Ruta de la Obsidiana, an
interdisciplinary international project), the international cooperation, the
expositions, the didactic activities, the language and culture courses, etc.;
- the expertise that has been growing in our Centro Studi as for
scientific capacities and for the offering of cultural services.
With the opening of the Ce.Do.Ri.C.A there will not only be an improvement
of the quality of our Centro Studi but also of the americanist studies which
will have a new instrument, a new focus for the museum and documentary activities,
for the congresses, for the research, for the editorial activities, for the
cooperation and for formation and information.

office in Perugia will have the following working
