Biographical Sketch: Amerigo C. Chiriaco (1930-2003) worked for the International Trade Commission as a Trade Analyst, publishing multiple federal documents while in this position. He traveled extensively through the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, and Africa. In many of these travels, he compiled lists of economic assets including flora and fauna. He compiled ca. 40 notebooks describing the roadsides he encountered while traveling various highways in the United State, which he correlated with highway maps in the collection. Upon retirement, Mr. Chiriaco lived in Slocomb, AL where he was a member of St. Columba Catholic Church of Dothan and the BPOE Elks Club. Chiriaco appears to have been a maker of lists.

Scope / Content: Contains files detailing Mr. Chiriaco鈥檚 travels through the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Four hardcover ledgers record the books in Mr. Chiriaco's personal library. There is a postcard of a Joseph L. Chiriaco [relationship unknown], and a sample of Mr. Chiriaco's published government papers. There are lists with important economic products, broken down by global regions or by industry. Numerous lists are included on a variety of topics: Catholic Directory, mineral guides, encyclopedias of missions, guides on food and wine, the Yearbook of Agriculture 1937, colleges and private schools, etc. Files on various animal and plant families are present, but appear to incomplete due to large gaps in information or missing books.
