Last Spring, the Elders Council of El Bohio Atabei Mujeres de la Yuka stopped the CENTRO Library & Archives on their visit to New York to participate in the Indigenous Peoples Forum at the United Nations.
It was a powerful moment to welcome Diasporicans throughout the diaspora, like Hawaii, to view our archival records, learn more about archiving, and reflect on how the histories, cultures, and struggles of Puerto Rico and Hawaii are deeply intertwined.
During their visit, members of the council explored the Blase Camacho Souza Papers, a significant resource for understanding Puerto Rican migration and the lives of plantation laborers in Hawaii in the 1900’s and their descendants.
Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest university-based research institute, library, and archive dedicated to the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
