The CSRC Library and Archive is launching a new project to digitize photographic collections representing Chicano and Latino experiences. These digitized images will be made available through a searchable web-based database similar to the Frontera collection , which contains over 30,000 digitized recordings. To date, the CSRC Archive has digitized over 2,500 images from the Oscar Castillo photograph collection, which spans four decades of social and cultural events in Los Angeles. A database for these images will be created over the summer. The CSRC Archive is also currently digitizing other photograph collections, as well as primary documents, for a project sponsored by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
