Description
This collection consists of 9,624 pamphlets from Mexico, Peru, Central and South America on the social, political and economic conditions of these areas from the 17th to the early 20th century. The pamphlets encompass original reports and personal accounts, government records, economic reports, histories, biographies, political broadsides, scholarly theses, speeches and even playbills.
The collection is reproduced from more than 12,000 pamphlets housed in the Yale University Library.
The collection is divided into three sections: "Mexico," "Peru" and a "Miscellaneous" section on Central and South America, which includes Argentina, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Equador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Venezuela and the West Indies. Each pamphlet is published on a separate microfiche and is assigned a unique identification (ID) number. The pamphlets are filed in each section by identification number.
The guide must be used to access the material in the collection. Like the pamphlets themselves, the guide is divided into the three sections noted above. Each section of the guide is indexed by subject (based on Library of Congress Subject Headings), by author and title, and chronologically.
Individual entries in the guide include title, author (if known), printer, city of imprint, country, number of pages, language, imprint date and pamphlet identification (ID) number. The ID number for each entry in the guide corresponds to the ID number of each michofiche.
