HSI Archival Collections
A portion of the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) grant funds were used for the acquisition, processing, and digitization of primary and archival materials documenting the experiences of Latino/Chicano leaders and organizations in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley area. These collections are part of Special Collections and Archives. Selections from some of these collections are available for viewing online in the Latino Cultural Heritage Digital Archives. For more information see External Grants to the Library.
Comprised of five archival repositories on campus, Special Collections and Archives is home to many rich research collections at CSUN. Before being awarded the HSI grant, Special Collections, the Urban Archives, and University Archives maintained a number of collections documenting Latino/Chicano communities in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. The library continues to acquire, process, and open these important collections to research.
