Established in 1969, the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Library and Archive was the first library of its kind and is now the only freestanding Chicano studies library in the United States. It provides information resources, reference services, and bibliographic instruction for those seeking information on Chicano history and culture. The library makes its holdings accessible to users from UCLA and from around the world.

If you wish to access one of our special collections, please contact us before you visit, as we may need time to retrieve the materails.
