This guide provides access to microfilm collections of archives, pamphlet literature,
government papers, and ephemera pertaining to Latin America and the Caribbean. All
collections are located in Government Information, Maps and Microform Services on the

Links to IUCAT records provide more detailed information about individual collections,
though a number of collections, such as those issued by the U.S. Department of State,
are uncataloged, and not available in IUCAT. For those items, a location reference is
provided. If you need further assistance locating these materials, inquire at the GIMMS
desk on the 2nd floor.
