In 2010, CI hosted “Bittersweet Harvest, The Bracero Program 1942-1964,” a traveling bilingual exhibition organized by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. In conjunction with the exhibit, students from CI under the guidance of Jose Alamillo, Associate Professor of Chicanca/o Studies, conducted more than 70 interviews, 10 of which were featured in the exhibition.

This digital collection contains exhibit documents, exhibit images, interview documentation, and oral histories. Not all items are open to the general public. Some audio oral histories have not been transcribed in English and Spanish. Additional materials are located in the University Archives.
