The Voces Oral History Project

A collaborative effort between University of Texas students, faculty, and community participants to record and preserve the history of Latinas and Latinos living during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Since 1999, Voces has collected nearly one-thousand interviews documenting the experiences of Latina and Latino military personnel and civilians across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. All videotaped interviews, copied photographs, and other materials can be found at the Nettie Lee Benson LAtin American Collection. http://www.lib.utexas.edu/voces/
