Biographical Note
Louis Silveri, the son of Luigi and Mary (Cartullo) Silveri, grew up in Brockton, Massachusetts, and later moved with his family to Holden, MA, where he lived for some forty years. He was a Korean War veteran and after the war he pursued a Master's Degree in American History at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., and followed that with a Doctorate in American History from St. John's University, in Queens, N.Y. In addition to his formal degrees, Dr. Silveri was a Fulbright Fellow, and also pursued post-doctoral work at Harvard University and at North Carolina State University.
While on sabbatical from Assumption College in Worcester, MA, in 1972, Silveri decided to give his family the experience of living in another part of the country. He obtained a teaching position at the University of North Carolina Asheville, and moved with his wife and children to a house in Haw Creek in Buncombe County. He was interested in doing research on the effect of the New Deal on this part of the country and, after reading "These Are Our Lives," oral histories collected by the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration, he decided to interview people in the Asheville area. His interviews, recorded during the 1970's, formed the nucleus of the oral history collection of the UNCA Southern Highlands Research Center, the predecessor of the D.H. Ramsey Library Special Collections. At UNCA he taught courses on 20th century American history, U.S. diplomacy and the Civil War.
Dr. Silveri was an accomplished oral historian, and assembled a large number of oral history interviews at the University of North Carolina Asheville, as well as collections at Berea College in Kentucky, where he also taught. He wrote and published many works on Appalachian history, and developed many classes while at Assumption College, Berea, and Asheville, on both U.S. and world history topics.
Dr. Silveri died on November 3, 2004 in Holden, MA. At the time of his death, he was still on the faculty at Assumption College where he had taught for nearly 35 years. He was 73 years old at the time of death.
