Los Recuerdos del Barrio en Flagstaff

In 1997, with the encouragement of Hispanic community leaders, local scholars, and NAU historians, NAU Cline Library began conducting oral history interviews with members of Flagstaff's community of Basque, Spanish and Mexican-Americans. Original photographs were often loaned to Cline Library for copying purposes by the families who were interviewed for this project. The families represented in this documentation include: the Irene Vasquez Henandez family, the Carmen Nunez Vergara family, the Jimenez Alonzo family, the Davila Mayorga Chavez family, the Vega Bobadilla Diaz family, the Martinez de Gomez family, the Gregorio Martinez family, the Francis O'Campo Ramirez family, the David Rodriguez Estrella family, the Alberto Almaraz and Carmen Almaraz Romero family, the Gutierrez Mayorga family, the Sanchez family, the Selsa Alonzo family, and the Pete Hernandez family. Photographs depict daily life, work, and special occasions.
