WITH LOW LEVELS OF DIGITAL LITERACY AMONGST RESIDENTS AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE COMMUNITY RESULTING FROM GENTRIFICATION, HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF AFRO-PUERTO RICAN HERITAGE ARE AT RISK OF BEING LOST. THEREFORE, LWB IS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL RESIDENTS, ACADEMIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO CREATE A NETWORK OF SIX DIGITAL ARCHIVES ACROSS LOIZA. LWB IS WORKING WITH RESIDENTS TO TEACH DIGITAL AND CULTURAL ARCHIVING SKILLS AS WELL AS ORAL AND VIDEO STORYTELLING.
