The Archives of the Jewish traditions and customs Benvenuto and Alessandro Terracini [Archivio delle Tradizioni e del Costume Ebraici Benvenuto e Alessandro Terracini] is a center and association or collecting, cataloging, studying, promoting and developing Piedmont Jewish culture and memory. The association, founded in 1973 in Turin, was based on the legacy of manuscripts and rare editions from the family of the linguist Benvenuto Terracini (1876-1968) and his brother Alexander. Over the last nearly 40 years, the patrimony of the Archives significantly expanded in size and depth and is now an institution which provides documentation to scholars and promotes cultural activities, publication of books, exhibitions and conferences, with links to Jewish institutions in Italy and abroad. The index of the archive is consultable online, but no digitized documents have yet been made available to the public.
