Abuelas Project Latinos in Heritage Conservation USA Latinx Communities
The Abuelas Project LATINOS IN HERITAGE CONSERVATION

The Abuela's Project collects, curates, and amplifies stories of important LatinX movements, sites, and people in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. This GIS project encourages intergenerational storytelling. Storymaps focus on braceros, abandoned Mexican Cemeteries, Route 66, and more.

The digital project will encourage intergenerational storytelling using new media, create a system to research Latinx preservation, support allied efforts to designate Latinx historic sites, and identify important patterns related to Latinx preservation nationwide.
