Celebrate Latine Heritage Month by exploring the sights, creativity, and energy of San Francisco’s 1970/80s Latine arts scene in Gleeson Library Digital Collections. The Casa Hispana de Bellas Artes Collection brings together programs, posters, and fliers showcasing lively theater, music, and educational events organized by Casa Hispana. You can read more about the origins of this collection and its connection to USF in a previous blog post titled “From the Vault 06(01)” written by Annie Reid, University Archivist.
These documents are digitized and ready for close-up viewing in Gleeson Library Digital Collections. Programs, posters, and clippings can be studied in detail using IIIF viewers, which allow you to zoom in on artwork, typography, and handwritten notes. Whether you are researching, looking for inspiration, or just browsing, this collection invites you to witness the people, events, and energy that shaped San Francisco’s Latine cultural history.
To see any Special Collections & University Archives material in person, stop by the Donohue Rare Book Room on the 3rd floor of Gleeson Library or contact us to schedule an appointment.
