Archivadxs: A Book List for International Archives Day

From the International Council on Archives: "Did you know that 9 June is International Archives Day? All around the world, archival community professionals join together to explain to the world at large why supporting archives and the profession is so important. ICA is firmly convinced of the need to promote the value of archives and archivists at international level. Archives and archivists play an important role in accountability, transparency, democracy, heritage, memory and society." This list focuses on Latin American/diaspora authors and includes both fiction and non-fiction, and English and Spanish titles. Also included is a link to the list of PCPL special collections.
