Doing archival research on the Los Guilucos School for Girls riots of 1953.

Talk to People

Don't forget to talk with people!

  • If names or organizations come up in news accounts, look to see if that organization has records, or if those people are still alive and might be willing to talk with you.
  • At the archives you go to let the librarians know what you are working on. They might know of other resources that could be useful.
