2024-2025 CART Alternative Spring Break: Huerta Center Graduate Scholars

In Winter 2025, two graduate students will receive funding from the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas (Huerta Center) and be trained by the University Library’s Center for Archival Research and Training (CART) to assist a UC Santa Cruz Archivist based at the Dolores Huerta Foundation in Bakersfield, CA in archival processing during Spring Break 2025 (March 24-28, 2025).

The Huerta Center Graduate Scholars will be trained in CART for up to 20 hours during Winter quarter, then travel to Bakersfield to participate in an “alternative spring break” program from March 24-28, 2025. There they will work alongside the UCSC Archivist and engage in archival processing of the Dolores Huerta Papers and the Huerta Foundation records.

Eligibility: Currently enrolled in a graduate program at UCSC at least through June 2025 (at least five credits, not on leave or filing fee, in good academic standing, within normative time).
