Mission
This initiative documents how, over the last 50 years, Chicana historians have transformed the way professional historians do and understand history, as well as who is included in U.S. history. Through professionally recorded oral histories in high resolution, broadcast quality footage, as well as data collection, participation in conferences, exhibitions, and public programs, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History honors these contributions.
