Hispanic Houstonian Letters

Heading of a letter from the State of Texas Office of the Governor

This collection of letters from the Hispanic community ranges decades and goes to show what life was like for many different people of different ages. This demonstrates what people found important enough to share, how they talked to the people they were writing to, and can help give insight into the everyday Hispanic person’s life. Through this project you will also be able to see the transition from handwritten letters to typed letters to e-mails.
