Description: Miscellaneous documents from the Center for Latin America and its predecessor, the Language and Area Center for Latin America, as well as materials documenting the formation of the Center. The collection largely consists of discussion papers written by UWM professors and several scholars from outside the University and published by the Center from 1969 to 1985. The discussion papers mainly address economic issues and theories and their pertinence within Latin America, although several papers focus on political and cultural issues. The Center also published several newsletters and distributed the research findings of its members in essays, reprints, and pamphlets which are included in the collection. Also found in the collection are correspondence files, meeting minutes, and planning documents. The correspondence files (1958-1976) mostly consist of letters from the directors concerning staff, budget, course and curriculum development, and other Center activities. The advisory committee and faculty meeting minutes also document courses, staff, budget, research and other activities from 1958 to 1975. The planning documents (1969-1983) discuss grants, courses, migrant workers, and a suggestion for a Midwest Language and Area Study Program. Finding aid available in the Archives.
