The Latino Roots Project includes an exhibit composed of  fifteen portable wooden panels containing photographs and stories about seven immigrant families; a booklet, Latino_Roots_book_WEB_update, that captures these same stories and photographs; classes at the University of Oregon; two video documentaries (one of these, the film “Latino Roots in Lane County” is available through UO Today at http://media.uoregon.edu/channel/2010/11/29/latino-roots-in-lane-county-contemporary-stories-of-settlement-in-lane-county-oregon/); and a proposed website and digital archive.  All materials are bilingual in Spanish and English.
