Institute for Latino Studies
Latino Arts and Culture Oral History Project

Oral history interviews are a major component of the Institute for Latino Studies’ effort to document and preserve the history of Latino arts and culture. These primary sources offer scholars and students opportunity for the advancement of knowledge and new understandings of American culture and society. Over sixty interviews have been recorded with Latino/a artists, writers, poets, and leaders from across the nation with a particular emphasis on the Midwestern United States. Audiovisual recordings and transcripts of the interviews are made available to researchers as their processing is completed.
