Bibliography/Bibliografía

Since Tejana Historias is an ongoing, multiyear project, the bibliography is a work-in-progress. Below are the core sources, which are central to creating, influencing, and inspiring this repository. Students, educators, and researchers are also encouraged to review the numerous digital archives, libraries, and depositories, which have and will continue to inform this research here and join the Zotero Tejana Historias Reading List here. Researchers are also invited to read our Protocols Statement for the vision, creation, and usage of this site.
