Library Resources for the Study of Mexican American/U.S. Hispanic history and culture

Students, faculty, visiting scholars, and members of the community at large are encouraged to make use of the extraordinarily wide-ranging resources on Mexican American and U.S. Hispanic culture and history held in the General Libraries of The University of Texas at Austin. The internationally renowned Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection provides the foundation for this area of study.

General Libraries staff maintain close ties with students and faculty associated with the Center for Mexican American Studies, as well as other interested individuals, to build and maintain a collection of items useful to the study of Mexican American and U.S. Hispanic history and culture.

Books, as well as most of the archival materials mentioned in this brochure, are listed in UTCAT, the University of Texas at Austin online catalog. Please consult staff in the appropriate library for any additional assistant needed in locating materials.
