ARRANGEMENT: Generally by format, thereunder chronologically by record number.
DESCRIPTION: The goal of this project was to research, document and present the traditions of Utah's Spanish-speaking residents who come from nearly every country in Latin America and from parts of the United States where Spanish is spoken as a native language. Extensive fieldwork uncovered a wealth of performing traditions, arts and crafts. Project components included a lecture series sponsored in part by the Utah Humanities Council, a folk art exhibit that opened at the Chase Home Museum in 1992, a series of twelve concerts spotlighting different music and dance traditions, and production of three 90-minute cassette tapes which were later re-mastered into three compact discs with support from Utah State Library System. The project also culminated with publication of a bi-lingual booklet entitled "Hecho en Utah: A Cultural History of Utah's Spanish-Speaking Communities. This project was funded in part by grants from the Utah Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
