Collection Creator
History
The Princeton University Library has developed numerous collections of Latin American
ephemera that are unique in their depth and scope. Privileging the popular voices of the
region, the collections document numerous political and social movements, and a wide
variety of key socioeconomic and cultural developments. Some particularly
well-documented topics are grassroots organizing, human rights, electoral politics,
indigenous issues, women and gender issues, youth, the environment, health, education,
and religion. Types of primary materials collected include pamphlets, non-commercially
produced and distributed serials, flyers, posters, working papers, government
publications, and other non-traditional formats. Most of the documentation in the
collections was produced after the mid 1960s by Latin American nongovernmental
organizations of all types, interest groups, political parties, research institutes, and
government agencies.
The intensive collecting of ephemera was initiated by Barbara Hadley Stein, the
University's first Bibliographer for Latin America, Spain and Portugal (1966-1977). She
sought to document some of the major political developments of the period, including the
rise to power of military dictatorships, coup d'états, the institutionalization of the
Cuban Revolution, and the popular responses to those developments. Her successor, Peter
T. Johnson (1977-2003), expanded the geographic and thematic scope of the collections
and systematized the process of organizing, cataloging, and preserving them. Intensive
collecting in this area continues to this date.
Over the years, materials have been grouped and organized by country or region, and by
topic or subject area. Once collections are fully organized, they are cataloged and
microfilmed. A complete list of collections appears in the Guide to the Princeton
University Latin American Microfilm Collection (Wilmington, DE: Scholarly Resources,
1993) and subsequent supplements. Many of the collections' finding aids are available
online. Original print materials have been preserved in many cases.
