Research and Digital Resource Collection
Having extensively studied and researched Pedro Albizu Campos, a Puerto Rican Harvard College graduate (1916) and Harvard Law School graduate (1923), this work gave rise to the development of the Pedro Albizu Campos Digital Resource Collection (PAC-DRC). The archival documents, physically maintained by Harvard University Archives (HUA), were researched, indexed, and contextualized by Dr. Daniel Ibarrondo. The PAC-DRC focuses on Albizu’s student years in Burlington, Vermont, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, from 1912 to 1923. As Executive Director of the PAC-DRC, Dr. Ibarrondo maintains the OER website, updates the collection, assists historians and students, and provides the Spanish translations. The collection is available at OER Commons here, directly at the PAC-DRC website, and at the Biblioteca Virtual de Puerto Rico here.
Music
Having lived in Taiwan and traveled throughout Asia, Dr. Ibarrondo has created low-fi tech music inspired by the sights, sounds, and culture of Taiwan, Cambodia, and South Korea. The full playlist of his musical creations is available on SoundCloud here.
Books
Pedro Albizu Campos The Formative Years is a seminal scholarly work on Albizu’s formative period from birth through elementary school, high school, and his University of Vermont and Harvard University student years up to the conferral of his Harvard Law School degree in 1923. The book will be published in English and Spanish in 2025 and is the first in-depth study of this time period for one of Puerto Rico’s most beloved patriots.

Art
From acrylics to oils, art provides an outlet and opportunity to give meaning to existence, community, and inspiration. Dr. Ibarrondo recently moved into oil paintings and has inspired other artists as well. One inspired artist named his painting, “Daniel.”
