At that time, Latin American and Mexican acquisitions were effectively curtailed, although some titles were sporadically added. In 1975, formal acquisitions by purchase for Latin American and Mexican materials for the Harris Collection ceased. Some small additions by gift continue to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Chicana\/o and Puerto Rican poetry, drama, and music are still actively collected. Since many authors may move between regions and cultures, acquisitions decisions are based primarily on an evaluation of the writer&#8217;s identification, rather than legal citizenship or residence. The existence of publishers that specifically concentrate in this material, such as <a class=\"main\" href=\"https:\/\/artepublicopress.com\/\">Arte Publico<\/a> and <a class=\"main\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asu.edu\/brp\/\">Bilingual Press<\/a>, helps in the identification of authors to be included in the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are approximately 3,500 titles of Latin American, Chicana\/o, and Puerto Rican literature in the Harris Collection. Older materials (primarily prior to 1945) may be found in the Lat Amer classification in Harris; more recent materials have been folded into the general classification structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earliest imprint in the Latin American collection is Francisco Ruiz de Leon&#8217;s <em>Hernandia. Triumphos de la fe, y gloria de las armas espa\u00f1olas. Poema heroyco. Conquista de Mexico, cabeza del imperio septentrional de la Nueva-Espa\u00f1a. Proezas de Hernan-Cortes, catholicos blasones militares, y grandezas del Nuevo mundo<\/em>. (Madrid: En la imprenta de la viuda de M. Fernandez, y del Supremo consejo de la Inquisicion, 1755), a work of poetry on the Mexican conquest of the 16th century. The earliest Latin American imprint is Amorosa contienda de Francia, Italia, y Espa\u00f1a sobre la augusta persona de el Se\u00f1or Don Carlos III, exaltado al trono espa\u00f1ol. <em>Certamen poetico, metrica palestra, ingenioso combate, a que para decidirla con d\u00e8lphicos oraculos, m\u00e8tricos alegatos, y minervales instrumentos, convoca las racionales musas de su docto floreciente parnaso la Real, y pontificia universidad de Mexico, en cuyo nombre la dedica a sus reales plantas el Dr. D. Manuel Ignacio Beye Cisneros, y Quixano &#8230; rector &#8230; de ella &#8230; Proponiala el Dr. y mr\u00f2 Don Juan Gregorio de Campos Martinez<\/em> .. (Mexico, Impressa en el Rl. y mas antiguo Colegio de S. Ildefonso, 1761). It includes poetry on the coronation of Charles III, King of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early 19th century Latin American imprints include poetry published in Bogota, Havana, Guayaquil, Rio de Janeiro, and Bahia. Portuguese and French language materials, from colonies in South America and the Caribbean, will also be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"relcoll\"><\/a><strong>Related Collections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00bb Sheet Music Collection (Marsh Collection)<br>\u00bb <a class=\"main\" href=\"http:\/\/www.brown.edu\/Facilities\/John_Carter_Brown_Library\/index.html\">John Carter Brown Library<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"relint\"><\/a><strong>Related Internet Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Brown University Library Resources: Subject Collections <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a class=\"main\" href=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/collatoz\/cluster.php?cluster_id=13\">Iberia, Latin America, and Latino<\/a><br>Holdings in Special Collections<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Brown University Library Resources: Resource Guides to Subject Areas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Resource Guide: <a href=\"http:\/\/libguides.brown.edu\/latinamerica\">Latin American, Iberian, and Caribbean Resources<\/a><\/li><li>Resource Guide: <a href=\"http:\/\/libguides.brown.edu\/DIAP\">Diversity and Inclusion Collections in the Library<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Internet Resources <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a class=\"main\" href=\"http:\/\/memory.loc.gov\/ammem\/rghtml\/rghome.html\">Hispano Music and Culture of the Northern Rio Grande:&nbsp;The Juan B.
