The Luis Alberto Sánchez Collection |

(This page is under development. More information about the collection will appear in the near future.)
The Penn State University Libraries is home to the Luis Alberto Sánchez collection. The collection, including more than 14,000 volumes and an archive of personal correspondence, is particularly strong in holdings from Chile, Mexico, Peru and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean countries.
- In 1985 the entire manuscript and correspondence collection were reformatted to microfilm and is currently available in the University Libraries' Microform area and made accessible to requesting institutions and scholars worldwide.
- In 1996, through the efforts of a joint CIC collaborative grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the University Libraries secured funding to reformat 600 volumes from the Luis Alberto Sánchez Latin American Literature collection.
- Currently, with funding from another grant from the NEH, we are working to preserve and make accessible selections from the history and political science holdings of the Sánchez collection, specifically those titles documenting the history of the APRA (Alianza Popular Revolucionaria Americana) from the 1930s to the late 1950s.
