Description
Migration is Beautiful developed from the Mujeres Latina Project. The project started in 2005 at the Iowa’s Women’s Archives to collect and preserve primary source materials about the history of Latinas and their families in Iowa. The University of Iowa graduates, community members, librarians, and archivists conducted over a hundred oral interviews with Iowa Latinas. In addition to donating their personal narratives, many Latino families generously donated letters, memoirs, and photographs that further added detail firsthand accounts to the project.
