Oral History Program
The CSU-Pueblo Archives, with the assistance of CSU-Pueblo classes and community members, has an on-going oral history program. We seek to preserve the personal narratives of Latino men and women who served on the home front and overseas during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the nation's most recent conflicts; Chicanas and Chicanos who were active in the Colorado Chicano Movement, especially in Pueblo, CO; Interviews relating to the Ludlow Massacre; and life histories of Pueblo community members conducted by students at Pueblo West High School.

The Elias Baca Sound Recordings include an interview with the Ludlow Massacre survivor, as well as corridos he wrote and performed. It also includes interviews with his descendents.
