Nuestro Chicago Archives is a digital archive page that highlights and preserves Chicago’s Latine community through family photographs and videos.
Est. 2024, N.C.A seeks submissions from all neighborhoods of Chicago before 2008.
Why make an archive now?
The history of Latines in Chicago shows a continuous displacement and gentrification. By sharing photos from across the the city, N.C.A commemorates the love and resilience of immigrant Chicago.
La historia de los latinos en Chicago muestra un continuo desplazamiento y gentrificacion. Al compartir fotos de toda la ciudad, N.C.A. conmemora el amor y resiliencia de los inmigrantes de Chicago.
About our Founder
THAIS BELTRAN
With family roots that were planted in Chicago as far back as the mid to late 1950s, Thais felt an overwhelming urge to start an archive that would reflect the large Latine community that makes up Chicago. They knew that although immigrant Chicago may share similar stories, each one is unique and deserves to be highlighted.
Nuestro Chicago Archives combines their passion of Chicago history, photography, and family archival.
