In early 2022, a multidisciplinary collaboration was initiated at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) involving the University Library, the English Department, and the Film Certificate Program. The goal was to create an Oral History Lab (OHL) dedicated to recording, preserving, and disseminating stories detailing the diverse experiences of residents of Puerto Rico. [1-3] The Lab would place special focus on how community members have navigated a series of stratified disasters that have affected the archipelago in recent years, including natural disasters, COVID-19, major political corruption scandals, and severe austerity measures. After starting out with oral history interviews conducted by students as part of courses and research projects, the OHL has expanded to the establishment of partnerships with various community and mutual aid organizations.
