The AIHA operated the Italian Cultural Center & Museum located at 668 Catherine Street, Utica, New York (Utica's "Little Italy" - east side of the city) in 1985 . It was closed late in 1998 so that plans for the new national museum in Albany, NY could begin.

The AIHA publishes a very interesting and informative 16 page bi-monthly Newsletter in English. It contains information about Italian Americans, Italy, history, customs, traditions, recipes, events and other information of interest to Italian-Americans. Membership is open to everyone and Dues are as follows:
