Hello all!
So, Sarah and I met with the archivist this week. Finally! So, for UNCA it’s actually Gene Hyde. We focused on speaking about our migrate population. Our migrate population isn’t a set place or a date in time. Our migrate population is from all place, mainly from Latin America, and different times in history. Some may be here since yesterday while others have been here decades. The one thing that connects them is working in the agricultural fields. That is their day to day life.
So, back to Mr. Hyde, we went over specifics about contracts and consents that the interviewee has to fill out. However, what mainly surprised me was the fact that he knew about our migrate population. He read from a report on 2015 from the American Immigration Council that the biggest migrant group in NC were from Mexico, India, Honduras among other i was mainly surprised about the fact that India had actually made that list. However, in 2016 there were 30,000 DACA applicants. Who knew that in nC we had immigrants?! 😒There is also, a list created by NC state that shows the main location of migrant groups in NC. Finally, Sasha who works at the library that is really good with WordPress and we should contact him if we had any issues with WordPress.
Until next time!
