This café is a demonstration of the new Digital Indipetae Database, an open-access
resource that collects thousands of indipetae (Jesuit petitions for extra-European
missions) preserved at the Jesuit Roman Archive (ARSI) and other archives. The tradition
of writing indipetae, pretty unique to the Society of Jesus, lasted for at least four
hundred years, between the 1560s and the 1960s. At this café, Colombo and Rochini will
demonstrate the database's robust functionality by exploring the first series of
letters uploaded -- the nearly eight hundred indipetae written during the generalate of
Jan Roothaan (1829-1853), which highlight the evolution of Jesuit missions after the
restoration of the Society.
