ABOUT THE PROJECT/WEBSITE
The UO Puerto Rico Project: Hurricane Maria and its Aftermath started as a twelve-month long collaborative endeavor with students in the Ethnic Studies course “Race, Ethics, Justice” taught in Fall 2017 at University of Oregon. This project was inspired by students’ desire to intervene in the public debates about Puerto Ricans’ lack of access to basic resources in the aftermath of Hurricane María. Student teams fundraised to send a delegation to Puerto Rico to deliver donations and document stories in Caguas, Bayamón, Morovis, Utuado, Mayagüez, Santurce and Isla de Cabra. They produced educational resources and stories to share through this website with the general public, teachers, and professor. We humbly hope that these are conversation starters that will inspire others to create their own archives and document their own stories across generations.

ABOUT THE CAPTURE/ARCHIVAL COPY
This archival copy of the website was created by the UO Libraries Digital Scholarship Services Department to provide fully interactive, sustainable long-term access to a completed website, given the ephemeral nature of the web.

It was created using Webrecorder, a free, open-source web archiving service created by Rhizome at the New Museum, funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Knight Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Service.

The file type, WARCZ (Web ARChive) format specifies a method for combining multiple digital resources into an aggregate archival file together with related information. It is used for web-accessible content in a final or archived state. 

WARC files are often compressed using gzip, resulting in a .warc.gz or .wacz extension.
