This collection contains 5 boxes of correspondence primarily from Maristella Lorch, Professor and Chairman of the Italian Department and Medieval Renaissance Program, and Director of the Center for International Scholarly Exchange Program (C.I.S.E.) until her retirement in 1990. The C.I.S.E was founded by Lorch in May of 1980 for the purpose of joining "international academic communities in unique exchange programs," with student and professor exchanges spanning for periods varying ten days to a month. It began with an agreement between Barnard College, Columbia University and the University of Rome, but grew to include members from the University of Venice, Hong Kong, the Schlesinger Foundation in Switzerland, and many other institutions both in the U.S. and abroad. The C.I.S.E. also organized joint conferences, congresses, and partnered with the Translation Center of Columbia University.
