This paper explores the information practices (information seeking, using, and sharing) among Latino migrants, particularly undocumented migrants, in three different settings: at the US-Mexico border, in Seattle, Washington, and in Cali, Colombia. Through participatory photography and unstructured interviews, we explore the life experiences and information practices of marginalized and underserved communities and relate them to their experience of transience through different stages of the migration experience. We discuss how stages of migration may be limited to understand the iterative and constantly shifting experiences of migrants in the contexts we studied. Using a narrative style, we offer the richness of stories and the power of pictures to illustrate the concepts, in the words and images of the participants themselves.
