http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/154327841

The Papers of Antonia Pantoja help document the vibrant and multifaceted life of one of the great institutional pioneers of the Puerto Rican community. In addition, they lend insight into the nature and origins of the organizations founded by Pantoja and the extent to which they chronicle her personal and intellectual growth. A small but rich collection, highlights of the papers include personal affects from Pantoja's early years in Puerto Rico, historical materials on the inception and initial growth of ASPIRA of New York, Inc., as well as a vast array of photographs documenting all phases of Pantoja's life. In addition, the collection documents the evolution of Pantoja's consciousness as a black Puerto Rican woman and a Nuyorican, and the subsequent contributions of these identities to her professional development. The materials in this collection span from the early 1920s to 2002 with the bulk concentrating on the years 1960 to 2001. They consist of correspondence, memoranda, photographs, flyers, clippings, proposals, reports, speeches, writings, awards, posters and videotapes. The folders are arranged alphabetically and the documents are arranged chronologically. The documents are in both Spanish and English.
