TabbedDescription & RationaleMicrofilmed collection of 600 serials from across Latin America, from the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection, including government publications and other serials published primarily between 1821 and 1982. The rare and endangered titles were originally captured on microfilm during the early1980s through a U.S. Department of Education Title II-C grant. The Benson Library created archival-quality master negatives, but was unable make these accessible until print masters and catalog records could be created. The LAMP effort supported the duplication of film, which included a copy to be held at the Center for Research Libraries, and Texas supported the cataloging of the resources. This eight-year effort added approximately 900 reels of microfilm to LAMP’s collection. Sample titles include: El Bromista (Montevideo, Uruguay) April 1884-January 1886 El Gŕafico (Bogota, Colombia) July 1910-May 1941 La Revista Agricola: Organo oficial de la Direccion de Agricultura (Mexico City, Mexico) 1917-1922 Revista de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Córdoba, Argentina) 1914-1978, and Revista do Instituto Archeológico e Geográphico Pernambucano (Recife, Brazil) 1863-1919 Full list of titles is at: https://www.crl.edu/sites/default/files/d6/attachments/pages/Latin%20Ame...
