Preserving the History of Álamos and Sonora


Álamos History Association meetings on YouTube

When the pandemic hit in 2020, the History Association used Zoom to share information, recording these presentations for our archives. We created a YouTube channel and posted the meetings online, and we continued doing this after we resumed regular in-person meetings.

Below is a listing of our online presentations with video links for your convenience. Our presentations cover a variety of topics relating to the history of Álamos, Sonora, and Mexico, and in the past few months, we began a series of "walk/talk" videos on Álamos. All these videos are included in our listing.
