Chicanx and Latinx
The Latino Collection at Stephen O. Murray and Keelung Hong Special Collections is made up of books, journals, and other materials relating to the lived experiences of Latinx communities across the United States. The material ranges from scholarly publications, artist books, zines, periodicals, as well as popular content. The collection began over 25 years ago, through the hard work and passion of Diana Rivera, Librarian Emerita, in building a Chicanx/Latinx collection that could represent and preserve the rich histories of Latinx people in the Midwest and Great Lakes region. Some of the strengths in this collection are found within the manuscript collections. These collections house a variety of materials including posters, bumper stickers and political buttons, audio and visual sources, march banners, and other realia. Notable collections include the José F. Treviño Chicanx/Latinx Activism collection, which was founded in 2000 and holds seminal and primary sources relating to the activism and local politics of Michigan communities and several Midwest Latino artists' papers.
