The Story Archive

A Collection of Expat Stories, Memories and Life Lessons

With help of generous individuals and in collaboration with the American Benevolent Society and the Museo Britanico Americano, Inside México is collecting and documenting the largest body of oral histories ever gathered from foreigners living in Mexico.

Interviewees reflect on the past, imagine the future, and taken together present a collage of expatriate voices that speak about love, survival, immigration, culture, community and the challenges and joys of cross-border life. We can read and write about Mexico's international relations, but hearing a human voice filled with emotion, passing on a personal story gives history texture and depth beyond what the textbooks can offer; these stories illuminate both our universal humanity and highlight our differences.

If you would like to participate in the project by sharing your story, would like to recommend someone whose story you think should be preserved and/or would be interested in donating to the Story Archive Project, to help us collect and make available more stories, please contact us at storyarchive@insidemex.com
