Bibliopolítica | A Digital History of the Chicano Studies Library

    Hello LHRT! Happy New Year!

    I invite you to explore Bibliopolítica, a digital exhibit that chronicles the history of one of the first Chicana/o/x collections, the Chicano Studies Library at the University of California, Berkeley. Bibliopolítica shares the stories of trailblazing library workers, students and community members who worked to preserve and make Chicana/o/x resources available. Featuring photographs, ephemera, archival documents, and oral histories, Bibliopolítica offers an original digital collection of primary sources and is the first audiovisual history of a special place that helped redefine what libraries could be. Have a question for the project team? Write to us at bibliopolitica@gmail.com
