Mexican  Heritage  Consortium
Mission Statement

The  MEXICAN HERITAGE CONSORTIUM promotes the teaching, publishing and dissemination of Mexican and Mexican American history and culture which is:

• Accurate, authentic and easily understood
• Positive and non-prejudicial
• Accessible, attractive and competitive

This is done through collaboration with existing institutions serving the Hispanic community, through publications, lectures, exhibits, workshops and public performances. The consortium also engages in research to design suggested curricula and educational programs, and to promote general public knowledge of Mexican and Mexican American history and culture.

Among our goals will be to provide constantly updated catalogs, bibliographies, event calendars and other materials to increase general awareness of the public contributions of each of our members. Public speakers, authors, artists, performers and workshop leaders will also be organized and listed according to specialization and availability.

The consortium plans to become a 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural and historical organization. Activities will include jointly-sponsored seminars, battle re-enactments, “living history” presentations, folkloric and musical performances, museum exhibits, authentic souvenir collections for non-profit fundraising as well as for businesses which support the consortium’s mission. The consortium will include literary and video committees to advise gift and book stores on quality items available to serve “Mexican Heritage” interests. We will maintain memberships in the American Association of Museums and the American Library Association, among other local, state, regional and national organizations.
