CSRC Library and Archive and

Special Collections


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 materials.

Please note that the materials in the CSRC Library may not be checked out. They may be used in the library, and most may be photocopied.


The CSRC Library's exhibition space highlights special collections and the CSRC's research projects. On display through February are Gronk's Paper Napkins and Sandra de la Loza's Mural Remix Lightboxes.

Mission
