Help us Digitize 50 Years of Latine History at UIC!
In celebration of our 50th birthday, the Latino Cultural Center is launching a fundraising campaign to preserve our community’s rich history by transforming thirty office-bound themed binders into a public digital archive.

Why This Project Matters
Archival records serve to safeguard our collective memory for future generations to build on what came before and strengthen accuracy, accountability, and cultural identity. Establishing a digital archive with broader accessibility will ensure that anyone, anywhere, can explore our historic records and that institutional knowledge is preserved to inform future decisions to support Latine students at UIC.
 
How Your Donation Will Be Used
All funds raised through this campaign will be used to hire three UIC students over the next year to assist the LCC staff team in scanning, organizing, and publishing our treasured archive online as well as the necessary tools to complete this work.

Donations of $250 or more will receive our curated poster book, released for the 50th anniversary, highlighting 50 posters from the LCC’s archive.
