Chicanx Collection

The Colección Chicana / Chicano Collection Records (1978-2007) document the transfer of the Chicano Collection from the Centro de Estudios Chicanos to San Diego State University’s Love Library. The bulk of the materials date from 1978-1979.

The Colección Chicana Pamphlet File was part of the larger Colección Chicana, located on the first floor of Love Library. The File includes clippings, brochures, pamphlets, reports and newsletters that document topics of interest for the local Chicana/o community as well as its activities.

The Chicana and Chicano Studies Department Records (1968-2003) document the development and administration of the department and its curriculum. Highlights include materials relating to the department's incorporation into the College of Professional Studies and the resulting backlash from students. The majority of the material dates from the 1970s and details early department organization and curricula.

Our Chicana/o Studies subject guide contains a list of manuscript and archival collections documenting local figures and the local Chicano movement.
