| Abstract: |
This collection includes recordings and transcripts of oral histories narrated by
those in the Puerto Rican community of Brooklyn who arrived between 1917 and 1940.
The Long Island Historical Society initiated the Puerto Rican Oral History Project
in 1973, conducting over eighty interviews between 1973 and 1975. The oral histories
often contain descriptions of immigration, living arrangements, neighborhood ethnicities,
discrimination, employment, community development, and political leadership. Also
included are newspaper clippings, brochures, booklets about Brooklyn's Puerto Rican
community, and administrative information on how the project was developed, carried
out, and evaluated.
