Rock Archivo de LÁ:Mapping Transnational Latinx Music Scenes

2024

Published Web Location

Abstract

This essay presents an overview of the ad hoc archival practices of

Rock Archivo de LÁ, an online archive of rock Angelino memorabilia,

and explores its applications for the study of public history. I discuss

how the materials in the archive reveal the spatial understanding and

place-making practices of their creators, Latin American immigrants and

US-born Latinxs, through which they assert their belonging in Southern

California and beyond.
