The Abuelas Project launched in Summer 2021 as a multi-year preservation initiative to collect, curate, and amplify stories about places, histories, movements, and people that matter to Latinx communities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The digital project encourages intergenerational storytelling using new media, creates a system to research Latinx preservation, supports allied efforts to designate Latinx historic sites, and identifies important patterns related to Latinx preservation nationwide. Building on recent efforts to document and conserve Latinx heritage, The Abuelas Project uncovers the social, cultural, and economic connections our communities forge through historic places. The project is a story-driven, map-based online platform that functions as a grassroots and people’s historical registry for significant Latinx places. By prioritizing stories and experiences, The Abuelas Project embraces the collective memory and rich tapestry of our shared heritage.
