The Latino Oral
Histories Collection presented here consists of interviews conducted by Rutgers
University students, historians, and archivists who participated in Dr. Olga
Jimenez de Wagenheim’s “Documenting the Caribbean Community in New Jersey”
project, the bulk of which were conducted in the late 1980s. At this point, all

A significant portion of the oral histories were conducted in Spanish, however
English-language item descriptions are used to facilitate uniformity.
