Ellacuria Project
The Ellacuria Tapes
-A new on-line exhibit has been compiled by Loyola University Chicago Historian Dr. Dina Berger (Director of the Latin American Studies program) and her students and colleagues. Background: Three years before the Jesuit assassinations the university awarded Ignacio Ellacuría, S.J., an honorary doctorate and his visit to the campus was extensively videotaped. The recordings were uncovered almost accidentally last year in the university archives and have now been digitized, uploaded and contextualized. Area schools and ministries are welcome to contact Dr. Berger to learn more about the project which she describes here.
