Abstract
The Maria and Pedro Ortiz Family Papers (approximately 1950-2024) contain documents, photographs, and oral histories that document the Ortiz family's experience as a migrant family living in Southern Nevada. The photographs depict family gatherings, celebrations, work life as migrant farm laborers, and the Moapa Valley region of Nevada. The papers included in the collection include earning statements and pay stubs for Pedro Ortiz Sr., letters of recommendation from the family's employer (Paul and Mitzi Ozaki), correspondence, and funeral programs and prayer cards for various family members and community members. Oral history interviews with Ortiz family members document their experiences growing up in a family of migrant farm workers, living in Logandale, Nevada, and being a part of the Latino community in Southern Nevada.
