Mexican-American Community in Corpus Christi (1928)
This collection of films, shot in the 1920s by longtime Corpus Christi resident Antonio Rodríguez Fuentes, may well represent some of the earliest produced by a Mexican-American filmmaker about the Mexican-American community in Texas. In the home movie footage, Fuentes captures not only his family but also parades featuring local Mexican-American civil-rights organizations, including the Order of Sons of America and the Obreros y Obreras. Antonio and his wife Josefina were both heavily involved in early Corpus Christi Mexican-American community groups and the social network that these clubs comprised. The couple was also related to numerous local individuals, including Andres De Luna, one of the founders of the League of United Latin American Citizens. This collection comes to TAMI via the Mary and Jeff Bell Library at Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

Fuentes Family Home Movies Collection (1938)
14 reels, 9.5mm, 1920s and 1930s An avid amateur photographer, Mr. Fuentes' films serve as some of the earliest motion pictures made by a Mexican-American filmmaker about the Latino community and experience in Texas. His films feature scenes of border life, Mexican-American parades, and, of course, excited children on Christmas morning. The films named to the registry were shot on 9.5mm film, a unique amateur film format popular primarily in Europe. The films were preserved by TAMI in 2015. A selection of the films are available to view on the TAMI website. TAMI's Executive Director, Caroline Frick, says: "We are thrilled to learn of the inclusion of the Fuentes Family Collection to the National Film Registry. The Fuentes' films beautifully document life on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border, and illustrate the rich confluence of cultures that has made, and continues to make, Texas' story vital to understanding the United States."
