Join CENTRO Rooted + Relational Archives Fellow, Gianna Brassil, as they explore the connections between the Raquel Ortiz Mi Puerto Rico Film Collection and the Cerro Maravilla Hearings VHS Video Recordings Collection. Brassil seeks to understand how each collection contributes to distinct yet important facets of Puerto Rican history, especially in relation to US imperialism and the struggle for Puerto Rican self-determination. Come learn more about the richness of the CENTRO Archives and what archivists do behind the scene.

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.
