Echos of East Harlem: A Workshop on Memory & Older Adults

Saturday, April 26, 2025 3 PM CENTRO Library & Archives, The Silberman School of Social Work
Help CENTRO tell the story of Puerto Ricans in El Barrio through your lived experiences. This special gathering of elders invites participants to share their memories and insights to document the transformation of East Harlem/El Barrio. During this workshop, participants will contribute to CENTRO’s extensive digital collections by identifying historical figures, landmarks, and significant places depicted in archival photographs, documents, and other materials. This collaborative effort highlights the invaluable role of elders as custodians of history, bringing the vibrant tapestry of East Harlem to life through their voices and memories.
