Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

This collection of ephemera from Mexico consists of pamphlets, flyers, serials, and election paraphernalia printed between 1968 and 2008, but the bulk of the materials dates from the early 1990s to 2006. The collection is divided into six subject areas. The first section covers Mexican local and national elections between 1970 and 2006, focusing on the 2006 general election, with the candidate of the Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and the winner of the election, Felipe Calderón, candidate of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN). Additional sections include political parties and social movements; regional political movements, with an emphasis on the Zapatista uprising in the state of Chiapas as well as urban neighborhood activism in the colonias of Mexico's Federal District; state and municipal government publications, political analysis; and foreign policy. In the first four sections, materials are alphabetically organized by party or publishing organization; at times, items are first grouped by state or region and then sorted by publisher. In the last two sections, materials are alphabetically arranged by title.

Collection Creator Biography:

Princeton University

The College of New Jersey was initially chartered in 1746. The first classes were held in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in the parsonage of the president, the Reverend Jonathan Dickinson. Upon his death, the College moved to Newark, New Jersey, and was headed by the Reverend Aaron Burr, Sr. Since 1756, the College has been located in Princeton, New Jersey. For the first fifty years, nearly all College operations took place within Nassau Hall. Fires, fundraising difficulties, low student enrollment, and the Civil War challenged the vitality of the College in the early and middle nineteenth century, but the College grew vigorously under the leadership of President James McCosh, and it was renamed Princeton University in 1896. The Graduate School was established in 1900, although a limited graduate program had existed since the 1870s. Princeton enthusiastically supported the country (living up to its informal motto, "Princeton in the Nation's Service") during the First and Second World Wars, offering the expertise of faculty and campus space for training, as well as facilitating the early graduation of students so they could enlist. The post-World War II years brought dramatic changes to Princeton. The size and strength of the University's facilities and academic programs—especially for the applied sciences and public policy—were increased dramatically. Under President Robert Goheen, Princeton began to admit minority students in greater numbers in the 1960s and admitted women undergraduates in 1969. Today, Princeton is widely regarded as one of the top universities in the world.
