We are always looking for stories. If you, or someone you know, was born and raised in the Dominican Republic between 1920 and 1960, we invite you to contact us at [email protected] or (434) 982-2887 (WhatsApp) to set up an interview.

We are recording these stories to broaden our understanding of what education and childhood were like in the Dominican Republic in the early 20th century. We aim to go beyond written sources to capture the diverse ways people learned, both within and outside of formal schools.

The Dominican Voices Project is a bilingual digital archive that documents education and childhood in the Dominican Republic from 1920 to 1960. Our goal is to collect videotaped interviews with Dominicans who were born and raised in the country during the 1920s to 1960s.
