http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52421567

Collection consists primarily of personal letters, poetry, manuscripts, biographies, interviews, art, speeches, and diverse materials about cultural and political organizations. The folders are arranged alphabetically and the documents in chronological order. This is a rich collection for examining the life and work of Clemente Soto Vélez, and for chronicling significant literary movements in New York and Puerto Rico. The documents are a valuable source for research on the avant- garde Atalayismo movement and the literary and political history of Puerto Rico, as well as on Hispanic American literature in the United States. They also contain information on New York organizations such as the Puerto Rican Merchants Association, the Ateneo Puertorriqueño de Nueva York and the Circulo de escritores y poetas Iberoamericanos.
