In 1991, the Hispanic Oral History Project interviewed 22 Hispanic immigrants and descendents of immigrants who lived in Idaho. 21 of the interviews are held by the University of Idaho Special Collections and Archive. One interview was not able to be duplicated by the Idaho Humanities Council. The project was sponsored by the Idaho Humanities Council, the Ethnic Heritage Committee of the Idaho Centennial Commission, and the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs and resulted in the publication of the book Voces hispanas = Hispanic voices of Idaho.
