We are pleased to announce the acquisition of the Arte Público Hispanic Historical Collection: Series 1, a great new electronic resource for NEIU faculty and students interested in Hispanic literature and culture.
The database presents a digital collection of historical content pertaining to U.S. Hispanic history, literature and culture. “Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project” – from which the collection draws its content, is the largest national project ever to locate, preserve and disseminate Hispanic culture of the United States in its written form since colonial times until 1960.
Included are 60,000 historical articles, hundreds of political and religious pamphlets and broadsides, and the complete texts of over 1,100 historical books of Hispanic literature, political commentary, and culture.
