This
resource was originally featured in the 10-07-2017 Scout Report, and it
continues to provide a rich gateway to numerous online exhibits and features
celebrating America's Latino cultural heritage.
On September 8th, 2017, in honor of Hispanic
Heritage month, Google Arts and Culture launched Latino Cultures in the US - an
extensive collection that features dozens of curated online exhibits and
thousands of digitized items. This extensive site is the result of
collaboration with many museums and cultural institutions, including The
Smithsonian, the National Museum of Mexican Art, the National Hispanic Cultural
Center Foundation, and many more. Visitors can browse these exhibits by topic,
including Influential figures (featuring Dolores Huerta, Roberto Clemente, and
Sonia Sotomayor, among others), Discover U.S. Latino art, The LGBTQ experience,
Defining moments in Latino history, and much more. A few of the many highlights
of this collection include The Masters of Murals, Up Close, which allows
visitors to closely explore murals created by artists including Diego Rivera
and Mario E. Castillo; a collection of nine Latino neighborhoods that one can
explore via Google street view; and the powerful Voices Oral History Project,
which allows visitors to explore photographs and interviews of Latinos who
served in WWII.via https://scout.wisc.edu/archives/r48839/google_arts__culture_latino_cultures_in_the_us
