Goal

The Boulder County Latino History Project, a collaborative, grass-roots initiative, is documenting and describing the history of Latinos in our area over the past century. We are focusing on the towns of Longmont (an agricultural center), Lafayette (a coal mining community), and Boulder (shaped by commerce and the University of Colorado). We are working with teachers in the two local school districts to incorporate material about Latino history and culture into the curriculum at all grade levels.  Distinguished CU Professor and Historian, Marjorie McIntosh has written a pair of books about Latino life in Boulder County, 1900-1980.
