The nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were a tumultuous time in Mexico’s history when political, economic and social uncertainty reigned supreme. The Independent and Revolutionary Mexican Newspapers collection traces the evolution of Mexico during this pivotal period.
Comprising nearly 1,000 titles from Mexico’s pre-independence, independence and revolutionary periods (1807-1929), the newspapers in this collection provide rare documentation of the dramatic events of this era and include coverage of Mexican partisan politics, yellow press, political and social satire, as well as local, regional, national and international news. While holdings of many of the newspapers in this collection are available only in very short runs, the titles are often unique and, in many cases, represent the only existing record of a newspaper’s short-lived publication.
Most of the titles in the Independent and Revolutionary Mexican Newspapers collection are from the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection, a research library at the University of Texas at Austin for area studies on Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Latino presence in the United States.
Open Access to this collection is made possible through the generous support of the Center for Research Libraries and its member institutions.
