Historical Note
The Chicano Studies Collection was established in 1970 in response to the academic needs of Chicano students and faculty in higher education. Its purpose was to obtain works by and about Mexican Americans, or Chicanos, in the United States, and to place those materials in a separate library collection.
In its early period of growth and development, the Chicano Studies Collection began as a circulating collection of books which would represent and reflect the current thought and philosophy of the so- called Chicano Movement. The Chicano Movement gave expression and voice to those writers, scholars, researchers, and educators who wanted recognition of Mexican American history, culture, language, tradition, heritage and ethnicity. As a result, the Chicano Studies Collection became a unique and growing collection of books, newspapers, periodicals, microforms, and ephemera with strengths in Chicano literature, 20th century Chicano history, bilingual education, immigration, civil rights movements, and Chicana- feminist expression.
In 1985, the Chicano Studies Collection became part of the newly- created Department of Archives and Manuscripts, which includes the Greater Arizona Collection, the University Archives, the Benedict Visual Literacy Collection, and the Labriola National American Indian Data Center.
Scope and Content Note
The Chicano Research Collection consists of primary resources relevant to Mexican Americans in the Southwest in general, and in Arizona in particular. The Chicano Research Collection collects, houses, and maintains a solid representation of Mexican American, or Chicano, thought, expression, and research on Arizona's largest ethnic group, the Mexican American.
