The Chicana/o Collection was established in 1970 and held in the Chicano Studies Center where it supported the emerging field of Chicano Studies. This collection was comprised of books, pamphlets, clippings and other ephemera documenting Chicano history and culture. It supported research in areas such as Chicano literature, sociology, history, and other disciplines. In 1979 the collection was moved to the Love Library due to funding and space issues. The collection lived on one of the upper floor of Love Library before being moved again in 2018. Its' current home is in the space in front of SDSU Special Collections and University Archives and the Latinx Resource Center on the first floor of Love Library. Click here for maps of the library.
