Submitting your photos for Filipinos in Greater Boston
Since launching the project, we've contacted and spoken with many members of our community, requesting photographs of important events in Boston Filipinos history. We've asked that if you would like to be included in our upcoming book, please
1) jot down an outline of your family's history. Note that for this portion of the project, we are particularly interested in the generation that arrived post-1965 until the 1986 People's Power Revolution. We will treat the succeeding generation of post-1986 in another work.
1. Who in your family was the first to immigrate to the Boston area? When?
2. What was you/your family's reason for moving here?
3. From where in the Philippines (or other place) did you/your family emigrate?
4. Did you attend school here? If so, where and when?
5. Where/when did you meet your spouse?
6. When/where did you settle?
7. Where did/do you work?
8. What do you consider the most important events in our community during the time period between 1965-ca. 1986?
CHOOSE 5 TO 10 PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR FAMILY from the time you arrived until the late-1980s. Especially important are visible Boston or New England landmarks, but send us whatever you think is important. These will be scanned so that the originals are not lost. The caption will read "Photo courtesy of the _____ Family."
