The Border Life Collection is a collection that originated with Dr. Chad Richardson, Professor Emeritus, Sociology and Anthropology, and former director of Border Life Project (1979-2010). During this period Dr. Richardson directed students to conduct interviews among 16 distinct social and cultural groups, including ethnographic interviews, anecdotal accounts, and survey research projects.
The Border Life Collection represents this original student research concerning life in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and Mexico. For the privacy and confidentiality of participants physical access to collection materials is restricted.
Online research requests are the easiest way for BSA patrons and scholars to initiate their research inquiries. Be sure to include specific details about your research interest.
