Abstract

Eight oral histories were conducted by undergraduate students in a course. HIS 275 taught students how to conduct oral histories, transcribe them, and create the metadata for inclusion in an archive. The individuals interviewed are all tied in some way to the creation of Latino Studies on Princeton's campus or supporting immigrants in the community of Princeton.
