Among the various cultural initiatives scheduled for the Eighth Centenary of the death of Saint Angelus, the Postulator General and the General Archive of the Carmelite Order have organised an academic conference in which scholars can participate by presenting a theme related to the study of the Saint. The conference will take place in May 2021. Details on the purpose of the event and how to propose contributions in this "call for papers" can be found in different languages on both the websites of the Eighth Centenary of the Martyr and of the General Archive.

On 5 June, the Archive took part in the Festival of Archives, organized by the Association "Archivissima", which saw the participation of around 150 Italian archives. The theme assigned for this year has been on the role of women as protagonists of change and transformation paths. Due to the pandemic, the event, which initially was to include evening openings of the archives along with exhibitions and conferences, took place entirely online. The General Archive participated with a video entitled: "The monastery as a 'laboratory' of thought and writing: Rosa Maria Serio and the Carmel of Fasano", which can be seen on: www.facebook.com/archivioocarm
