Samahang Digital Archive

Creator of UCLA Samahang Pilipino Archives

Hello -- My name is Anna Alves and I coordinated the creation of the UCLA Samahang Pilipino Archives as well as the Samahang Pilipino Oral History Project. I'm wondering -- are the selections highlighted here in the digital archives just limited because of space or are there materials missing? I recall a much larger list of SPCN programs, including script binders, an entire collection of SPCN videotapes extending back to 1982, a whole collection of materials listing all of the original student-creators of the Archives that detailed all of their thinking and decisions as they created it, and the collection of oral histories as well as student papers that detailed evolving activities, sensibilities and politics throughout time. In any case, if anyone would like to reach me regarding the Archives' history and its materials, I am currently in Manila on a Fulbright fellowship and can be reached at anna.alves@rutgers.edu. Thanks and I am very glad to see that the Collection has begun to be digitized!
