Unique on the West Coast, the Boeckmann Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies was established in 1985 with generous support from Mr. and Mrs. Herbert F. Boeckmann II and encouragement from faculty with related instructional and research interests. The Boeckmann Center serves as a link between the library's collections and services and the scholarly activities of faculty and students in the areas of Iberian, Latin American and Chicano/Latino studies. The Center's materials include an 80,000 volume donation from Mr. and Mrs. Herbert F. Boeckmann II and several distinguished but smaller book collections, such as the L. A.  Murillo Cervantes Collection, the Radell Cuban Collection, the Lorente Cuban Exiles Studies Collection, South American books and pamphlets donated by the San Martin Society of the San Fernando Valley, archival materials of the Central American Research Institute (CARIN) Collection, formerly located in Berkeley, and the Cuban California Archive, supported by members of the Patronato Jose Marti of Los Angeles. The Collection achieves its distinction by virtue of the geographical focus, the historical and chronological coverage, and the interdisciplinary and multilingual nature of its holding. More info >
