Filipino American families

Original research materials and writing produced and collected by Clarito "Bing" Aradanas in the 1990s and 2000s. Included are digital and physical materials related to the Aradanas family, Lompoc's Filipino American histories and communities from the early to mid 20th century, and Bing's independent research projects. Materials include event programs and pamphlets, photocopied news paper articles, news clippings and spreads, and audio-visual material such as VHS tapes and CDs.

This collection contains materials collected by Lily and Pedro in the Philippines and the United States. A bulk of materials reflect Lily's professional work instructing catechism courses, as a bilingual educator in elementary schools, and her studies of indigenous Philippine spirituality.

This folder was curated by Bing for Shannon Toribio, the curator of the Manongs exhibit at Casa de la Guerra from 2024-2025. Shannon Toribio is a UCSB PhD candidate studying religion.
