Hispanic Resources: News & Events: 50 New Literary Recordings Available to Stream Online

The annual online release of material from the Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape has gone live! These year's release includes recordings with Jorge Luis Borges, Vinicius de Moraes, and renowned Latinx poets such as Carmen Giménez Smith, Valerie Martínez, and Rigoberto González. Curated here in the Library of Congress since 1943, the AHLOT is a collection of audio recordings of poets and prose writers from Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, the Caribbean, and the Latinx community in the United States reading from their works. Every year we make 50 new recordings from this collection available for online streaming.

Hispanic Resources: News & Events: Happy New Year/ Feliz Año/ Feliz Ano Novo!

Happy New Year/ feliz año/ feliz ano novo from the Library of Congress’ Hispanic Division! We feel privileged for the opportunities 2019 offered to continue our mission of sharing the Library’s wonderfully rich Luso-Hispanic collections. We are thrilled to welcome 2020 and look forward to its surprises. 

In case you missed it, here are some highlights from this past year:

Jaime Conlan and Sam Awad, an intern and Librarian in Residence, shared accounts of their work in the “Library of Congress, 4 Corners of the World” blog. We are grateful to learn with these budding professionals. 

We inaugurated a new series of events in our Reading Room’s vestibule to connect the public with distinctive collections and services against the backdrop of the impressive Portinari Murals. With nearly 30 partners, we welcomed 765 participants to combined collections displays, presentations or readings, and maker workshops.  Some highlights included a reading with Portuguese award-winning poet Ana Luisa Amaral; an homage to the late Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik; a Wikipedia edit-a-thon and a workshop with Chicano muralist Mario Torero.

We continue to create more online accessibility to recordings from the Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape and to recent acquisitions on and from Latin America through the Handbook of Latin American Studies, with volume 73 published and 74 on the way.

In 2019, the Hispanic Division also celebrated the impressive career and retirement of Juan Manuel Peréz (July), while welcoming Liliana Lopez (September) Dani Thurber (January).

We look forward to expanding our efforts and continue connecting users, creators, and learners with our treasures and resources. Please let us know if there is something you would like to see us prioritize in 2020 and stay tuned!

Many of our effort are possible thanks to generous support of the Huntington Endowment, for which we remain grateful, now 80 years after the establishment of the Hispanic Reading Room.

TUNE IN: Understanding the Pandemic

To help with understanding of the current global pandemic, the Library of Congress National Book Festival Presents program is offering a virtual multipart series with authors who have written books about widespread diseases and the worldwide response to them. The talks will be available on social media channels such as Facebook and YouTube, on the Library's website, and in some cases on C-SPAN.

Two talks in this series "Understanding the Pandemic," are already available, and the third, "Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic" premieres tonight, Thursday, April 30, at 7 pm ET. The full schedule:

“The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History." This 2004 bestseller has become a bestseller once again. John M. Barry talked with David Rubenstein, co-chair of the National Book Festival, on the 1918 influenza pandemic that ravaged the world even as World War I was being fought on the ground in Europe. Now available for viewing.

"No One Was Immune: Mapping the Great Pandemics from Columbus to COVID-19." The Library of Congress's John Hessler and Marie Arana discuss the sweep of history from the 1500s small pox pandemic that decimated the indigenous population of the Americas to the meticulous work that is being done now to map COVID-19. Now available for viewing.

"Spillover": Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic." Prize-winning science writer David Quammen discusses “Spillover,” in which he tracks the animal origins of human diseases through the centuries, with David Rubenstein. Premieres Thursday, April 30, 7 p.m. ET

"Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars: Space, Exploration and Life on Earth." NASA astronaut and scientist Kate Greene went into the mouth of a volcano in a space capsule called Mars and spent several months in isolation, in the dark, doing research. She has a lot to say about the stress, loneliness and other challenges of sequestration -- and all from a very novel and unique perspective. Interview by the Library's Marie Arana. Premieres Thursday, May 14, 7 p.m. ET

"Why It's Hard to Know Things, Lately, and How COVID-19 Will Go Down in History." Bestselling historian and Harvard professor Jill Lepore discusses how the current pandemic, its effects and our reaction to them say something very real about America in this moment and in the historical record that will emerge from it. Interview by the Library's John Haskell. Premieres Thursday, May 21, 7 p.m. ET

All talks will be available on Library of Congress Facebook and YouTube channels, on the Library's website, and in some cases on C-SPAN.
