Fall & Winter 2025

We collaborated with local community member Pedro Arroyo of the Chicano SLO Archive to secure an HSI (Hispanic Language Institution) Mini Grant from Cal Poly, which enabled us to hire a History graduate student, Mia Lawrence, to help digitize and catalog archival materials documenting local Chicanx history. This work culminated in a fabulous historical installation in Cal Poly library during Fall 2025, and at the SLO History Center in Winter 2026.
