Abstract

This UROP project consisted of two parts. First, our goal was to survey an archive about the Democratic National Committee and progressive space regarding the processes surrounding political Latinx outreach between 1998-2020. The second part of the project was to organize the archive and to create  a Finding Aid for the archive. The Finding Aid is valuable for people who conduct research on the development of the Democratic party’s outreach efforts directed to the Latinx community between 1998-2020. The archive features a variety of valuable sources collected by Dr. Lorena Chambers, an experienced political strategist. The inclusion of memos, correspondence, contracts, and other first-hand documents created and collected by my mentor provides a unique angle to the political processes to the researchers.
