The Collaborative Refugee
and Immigrant Information Center, created under the direction of
the Center for Cultural Dynamics, was a regional referral and information
database intended to assist people working with refugees and immigrants
in the Rocky Mountain region. Begun in 1992, it was the area's first
computer bulletin board for service providers and those conducting
mental health- and human rights-specific refugee and immigrant research.
The database was divided
into two areas, the first being a compilation of bibliographic citations
on a variety of topics within the larger framework of refugee and
immigrant mental health. CRIIC also had an extensive hard-copy library
which contained copies of many of the works listed in the computer.
The second area was a listing of service providers in the Rocky
Mountain region and included such pertinent information as addresses,
as well as key contacts and specific ethnic groups on which a provider
may concentrate.
The
information contained within the site has been divided and
“hyperlinked” (underlined text) and "anchored" for your convenience.
Suggested navigation: First, review the index and click on
