If there's an area I've come to appreciate, in particular, since joining the Institute for Latino Studies (ILS), it's preservation. I feel good about our Oral History Project. And yet, it's been on hold in the last year with a backlog of interviews that have yet to post on the ILS website. I need to look into what's going on.
There are, nevertheless, a number of interviews that are available for viewing. They've been mentioned before, but I'm taking a moment to mention them again, and link to the page that has them. The subjects currently available for viewing are:
Brenda Cárdnas
Sandy Florian
Sheryl Luna
Urayoán Noel
Michelle Otero
Paul Martínez Pompa
Barbara Jane Reyes
Lidia Torres
Robert Vasquez
The interviews last anywhere from 45 minutes to 60 minutes.

A wonderful project, Francisco. I was wondering if the idea of sharing these videos on YouTube has ever come up. A fine example of this is the is UC Berkeley's YouTube channel where you can view past readings from the Lunch Poem Series and the Holloway Series as well as some great interviews.
Take care.
Thank you for the comment, Oscar. I'm going to pass this information on to our web guy. Generally speaking, my sense is that Notre Dame is way behind the curve in this area, but I'll see about nudging the Institute in this direction
