The University Libraries invites the Seton Hall University community to contribute to several projects in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15 to October 15<\/strong> by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino\/a\/x peoples.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with the Joseph A. Unanue Latino Institute, the Library will be adding a select number of literary contributions by Hispanic and Latino\/a\/x authors. To participate in the literature selection process, please complete this survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mi Voz<\/em>, an e-repository, will collect personal essays, audio files and artwork from the Seton Hall University community. Contributors are asked to reflect on what being Hispanic or Latino\/a\/x in the United States means to them. The e-repository will be open to submissions until October 31, 2020 and contributors can submit their work here<\/a>. The collection will ultimately be preserved in the archives\u2019 digital preservation system.\u00a0 \u201cThe Monsignor Field Archives and Special Collections Center is dedicated to building its collections to better represent the entire Seton Hall community, and collections like this will preserve the voices of today\u2019s Hispanic and Latino\/a\/x students for future generations,\u201d said Sarah Ponichtera, Assistant Dean for Special Collections and the Gallery.<\/p>\n

The Walsh Gallery\u2019s Nuestras Familias <\/em>is a virtual photography gallery that will be premiering on October 1, 2020. The gallery will highlight members of the Seton Hall community and the families that support, encourage, and inspire them. Please send 300 DPI JPEG images along with the title of the image and the photographer credit to latinoinstitute@shu.edu<\/a> by September 15, 2020.<\/p>\n

Seton Hall University\u2019s Hispanic Heritage Month Committee has united departments and student organizations for a month-long series of events and special project. This year\u2019s theme, Navigating Latinidad, will look at what it means to identify as Hispanic and Latino\/a\/x and how that identity takes form in American society. By Navigating\u00a0Latinidad<\/em>, we can explore the labels chosen for us and their respective histories.<\/p>\n

To learn more about the month\u2019s activities, please visit: https:\/\/www.shu.edu\/latino-institute\/hispanic-heritage-month.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n

Check back throughout the month to see blog posts and social media posts from student scholars and leaders about reading recommendations and ways to get involved in the SHU and greater Latinx and Hispanic communities.<\/p>\n
