Latin America Commons

Responding to direct requests from the library community and building on the success of our earlier projects, Africa Commons and South Asia Commons, we developed Latin America Commons to enhance the discoverability of Latin American and Latinx content.

By partnering with libraries and archives worldwide, we discover, digitize, and preserve essential, at-risk materials from Latin America.

The initiative has launched with its first collection, Latin American History and Culture, providing centralized access to centuries of Latin American and Latinx primary-source materials, previously scattered across the internet.

Over time, Latin America Commons will expand, providing scholars, students, and broader audiences with access to these resources, fostering more inclusive and equitable research opportunities.
