Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project is a national project to locate, preserve and disseminate Hispanic culture of the United States in its written form since colonial times until 1960. The project has compiled a comprehensive bibliography of more than 17,000 records of books and pamphlets produced by Latinos in the United States until 1960. Holdings available at the project include: hundreds of original books, a microfilm collection of approximately 900 historical newspapers, more than 1,500 secular and religious books in microfilm and digitized form, a vast collection of photographs, an extensive authority list, and more than 30 reprinted historical books in scholarly editions. With an average of one conference per year and thousands of scholars associated, Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project is the premier center for research of Latino documentary history in the United States.
