About Us
WHO WE ARE
We are a research, archival, and project-based organization, building a community-based archive that acts as dynamic and inclusive repository that also bridges the gap between the past and the present, ensuring that the diverse narratives of the Central American experience are actively documented, preserved, and shared for generations to come.
WHAT WE DO
We preserve Central American heritage through the collection, preservation and exhibition of Central American related historical documents, artifacts, photographs, and stories. We conduct oral histories and create web videos focused on bridging the cultural knowledge gap that leads to biased narratives, stereotypes, racism, and systemic inequalities.
