events to include digitization of community collections and outreach programs
to raise awareness of the history of agriculture in Delano County, California. The
Kern Community College’s Bakersfield College Delano Campus Library would
collaborate with local cultural heritage organizations, including the Filipino
American National Historical Society, the Friends of Allensworth Committee, and
the Delano Historical Society. Each event would help preserve and facilitate a
deeper understanding of the community’s Filipino, African American, Mexican,

history of labor organizing and agricultural development.
"Digital Delano:
Preserving An International Community's History," enacts a series of
digital archival recruitment events led by the Bakersfield College Delano
Campus Library (BCDCL). A new addition
to the BC satellite campus, the BCDLC will work with local organizations to
expand the digitization of cultural heritage materials related to Delano's
diverse international migration history.
Our partner organizations represent connections to important local and
diverse community constituents for recruitment of historical artifacts and
ephemera. These organizations include
the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS); Friends of
Allensworth Committee; and Delano Historical Society. Each organization will assist facilitating
digitization campaigns to preserve the community's Filipino, African American,
Mexican, and European immigrant past, in turn, advancing understanding of this
California agricultural community's common heritage regarding its international
migration past. |
