About the Project
Beginning in the summer of 2022, the SBTHP's Presidio Research Center began to conduct interviews with Filipino-American community members in Santa Barbara to better document and highlight the role of Filipino-American communities in Santa Barbara.
This digital exhibit provides a glimpse into these interviews and the lives and contributions of participants and their families to the larger histories and communities on the Central Coast of California.
