Latinos in Heritage Conservation

Founded in 2014, LHC is the leading non-profit organization for the preservation of Latinx places, stories, and cultural heritage in the United States. We are a diverse network of intergenerational advocates conserving Latinx sites and living cultures in the fabric of American society, affirming the value of our history in the hemispheric struggle for social justice.

The Abuelas Project is a multi-year preservation initiative to collect, curate, and amplify stories about places, Histories, movements, and people that matter to Latinx communities in the country. The digital project encourages intergenerational storytelling using new media, creates a system to research Latinx preservation, supports allied efforts to designate Latinx historic sites, and identifies important patterns related to Latinx preservation nationwide.
