José Guadalupe Posada Collection of Mexican Popular Prints contains prints by Posada from three different CSWR collections. Most of the prints reproduced here are from the Fernando Gamboa Collection of José Guadalupe Posada Prints, which is reproduced in its entirety. In addition, a selection of prints from two related collections, Mexican Broadsides and Manilla and Posada Prints are included. Some items are double-sided prints. Where both sides are reproduced, the identification number is followed by the letter A to designate the front side (recto) and B to indicate the back (verso).
Sam L. Slick Collection of Latin American and Iberian Posters currently contains 750 images of posters from Cuba, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, and the United States with corresponding descriptions. It represents a significant selection of the collection of approximately 10,000 post-1960s Latin American and Spanish political posters. The collection is named after Sam L. Slick, a collector, scholar, and former Spanish professor at the University of Southern Mississippi, from whom it was acquired in 2001. The Slick Collection, unparalleled in scope internationally, includes works of varying scale printed in serigraphy and offset lithography techniques by such well-known artists as Félix Beltrán, Raúl Martínez, Renú Mederos Pazos, Alfredo Rostgaard, and Eduardo Muñoz Bachs of Cuba; Jesús Ruiz Durand of Peru; and Josú Rosa Castellanos, Antonio Martorell, Rafael Tufiño, and Lorenzo Homar of Puerto Rico. All Latin American countries, as well as Spain and the United States are represented by the posters, which address such themes as imperialism, solidarity, human rights, and revolution.
In addition to our digital collections, the Center for Southwest Research Pictorial Collections contains some 80,000 images dating from the mid-1850s to the recent past. Many of the photographs are directly related to the CSWR Manuscripts collections. The collection is subject oriented with a focus on the histories of New Mexico, the Southwest, and Latin America. Subjects represented include Hispanic and American Indian cultures, mining, ranching, railroads, political leaders, artists, writers, and the visual histories of Albuquerque and other localities in New Mexico.
New Mexico's Digital Collections are funded in part by the Center for Regional Studies, University of New Mexico.
