BRACERO HISTORY ARCHIVE WINS NCHP OUTSTANDING PUBLIC HISTORY PROJECT AWARD

On Saturday, March 13, 2010, the CHNM’s Bracero History Archive
<http://braceroarchive.org> received the National Council on Public History’s
award for “Outstanding Public History Project.”

The award recognizes excellence in work completed within the previous two
calendar years that contributes to a broader public reflection and appreciation
of the past or that serves as a model of professional public history practice.
Sharon Leon and other project staff, including Peter Liebhold (NMAH), Kristine
Navaro (UTEP), Mireya Loza (Brown), and Alma Carillo (Brown), were on hand to
accept the honor from NCPH President Marianne Babal at the annual awards
luncheon.

The Bracero History Archive is a landmark venture in collaborative
documentation. With major partners at the Smithsonian Institution’s National
Museum of American History, the Institute of Oral History at the University of
Texas at El Paso, the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at
Brown University, and dozens of other small cultural heritage and community
organizations around the country, the project has worked to collect and make
available the oral histories and artifacts pertaining to the Bracero program, a
guest worker initiative that spanned the years 1942-1964. Millions of Mexican
agricultural workers crossed the border under the program to work in more than
half of the states in America.

The Bracero History Archive is funded by the National Endowment for the
Humanities through the Preservation and Access division.
