ABOUT US

It all began with a son writing his father’s life.

Our founder wrote his father’s biography to honor his memory.

When he finished, he understood two things. That becoming the author of a parent’s story is one of the most important things you can do for your family. And that every family deserves the chance to do it.

That is how MĒMORA was born: a library of human lives. Its first book is ours: El Libro de los Puertorriqueños.

WHY EL LIBRO EXISTS

We are part of Puerto Rico.

Our family has a place.

Our story isn’t there yet.

Someone has to tell it.

I’m going to do it.

We Puerto Ricans don’t need anyone to tell us we belong. We already belong. El Libro gives that belonging a place to stay.

THE LIBRARY

A library for every people.

El Libro de los Puertorriqueños is the first. Others will follow: one for Mexicans, one for Cubans and more.

“It’s not your library.
It’s Puerto Rico’s library.”
