Who We Are & What We Do
The Latino Lorain History Project began with El Centro, Oberlin College, the Lorain Historical Society, and members in the community working together to preserve and highlight the history of the Latino community in Lorain.




Mission
The Latino Lorain History Project is a public history partnership of El Centro, the Lorain Historical Society, and Oberlin College with the over-arching goal of gathering and preserving the history of the Latino community in Lorain through collecting oral histories, archival materials, and artifacts. The project engages members of the Latino community including Latino leaders, representatives from various organizations, as well as individual citizens to create a true community collaboration that will foster a sense of pride in their identity as Latinos and serve as an inspiration for young Latinos in the community.
