Happy Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month!

This year we have decided to join the festivities and will be highlighting oral histories from our collection every week.

This week’s focus is on a project we did last semester called “Stories from the Chamizal Library.” This was a collaborative project between The Chamizal Library, a UTEP graduate oral history class and us. Through this project UTEP students interviewed people in the community who grew up, lived or had some type of connection to the Chamizal region. We are deeply grateful to all the participants who were willing and open with sharing their time, voices and personal stories with us.

Make sure to check on our socials next week to see what we highlight next!

Note: The video you see below includes only short pieces of the oral histories that were conducted and there were more participants interviewed than those that are present within the video.
