The OMA Featured in the OLA Quarterly

reforma-olaq

The Oregon Library Association’s quarterly journal, the OLAQ, just published a fantastic issue featuring the work of various members from REFORMA OR – and the OMA is a member!

REFORMA OR is the state branch of the National REFORMA Organization. REFORMA Oregon is intended to be a professional organization for librarians and library staff who serve the Spanish-speaking and Latino communities. The organization’s past-president and co-founder, Martín Blasco, was the issue’s guest editor. The OMA’s contribution was the article “Las Historias de Latinos en Oregón: Canby, Oregón An Oral History Project Collaboration Between A Librarian and an Archivist” detailing the Canby, OR oral history project; for more information check out the OMA blog post: La comunidad latina en Canby, Oregón / The Latino/a community in Canby, Oregon
