About the Hispanic Studies Collection:

The intent of the Hispanic Studies Collection was to integrate the Hispanic culture into mainstream academic scholarship while supporting the curriculum at Cal Poly Pomona and affiliated Link+ campuses. The Hispanic Studies Collection reflects the Hispanic culture and brings the Hispanic perspective to the entire Cal Poly Pomona curriculum. The subject parameters were very broad and allowed us to acquire materials reflecting a wide range of topics and issues relevant to Latino, Hispanic, or Chicano culture in the United States including the arts, literature, history, education, politics, social issues, and more. We also acquired materials related to Latin America, Central America, Mexico, Spain and the Caribbean.
