Princeton University's Latin American Ephemera Collections

During more than two decades, Princeton University Library has developed Latin American ephemera collections of major research value which are unique in their depth and scope. The collections, which privilege the popular voices of the region, document dozens of political and social movements, as well as a wide variety of key socioeconomic and cultural developments. Some of the topics that are well documented are human rights, electoral politics, grassroots organizing, indigenous issues, women and gender issues, the environment, health, education, and religion. Types of materials collected include pamphlets, noncommercially produced and distributed serials, fliers, posters, working papers of research institutes, and government publications. All of the collections have been microfilmed and cataloged.

Please go to the Library's Finding Aids site to browse or cross-search many of the finding aids related to the ephemera collections.

At the moment, not every Latin American ephemera collection is listed in the Finding Aids site. For a complete listing of the collections, consult The Guide to the Princeton University Latin American Microfilm Collection and its subsequent supplements (Available in Firestone Library, call number Z1610.G842 1993. Film B). The Guide is organized by country and subject area.
