Does Urubamba have a library? If they do, I would check there first
and ask the librarian if they have any books on local
history/culture. If not, you may want to check out

I'm currently living in Urubamba, Peru I want to improve the
article on the town. Unfortunately I'm not sure where to start
given so little is published about it. My efforts to find history
I could source has come up with little to nothing, but given I'm
living here I now know the official founding date of the town is
November 9th and is considered a holiday. That's just one example
of the many things I'm finding out that one would never find
published. I'm thinking not but I figured I'd ask anyway - does
Wikipedia make any provision for local or unsourced knowledge?<br>
<br>
Also, I think the question is relevant and interesting to this
list if only in terms of what kind of information is privileged as
important enough to get published - there is much in the way of
critiquing knowledge regarded as official due to its published
status while minority, indigenous and womens' voices go unheard
due to power structures that result in erasure.<br>
<br>
Any feedback would be much appreciated!<br clear="all">
