The documents relevant to the colonial period are, of course, preserved and often well edited. But the imprints of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that reflect local devotions and syncretist rituals,' religious iconography and poetry, and .the pastoral campaigns of the various churches and sects, went uncollected and unnoticed until the early 1960s, when Ivan Illich began to search for them and to collect them in the CIDOC Library of Cuernavaca. Under the care of Valentina Borremans the col lection grew, and is still growing vigorously after having become part of El Colegio de Mexico. A selection of material from this collection is being made available on microfiches and new materials from archives in Central and South America are being added as they are located and photographed. “For more than a century, the empirical study of religion in Latin America has been neglected. Religiosity was either treated as an atmospherical element in the institutional history of Church and State or as an aspect of culture. Students of re ligion felt drawn to the “exotic” religions in the Orient and in Africa; they tried to explain by religion the political behaviour of people in Hol land or Massachusetts; they reconstructed the pantheon of Aztecs or Huicholes — and exception ally paid attention to Voodoo or Theologians of Liberation. That which is uniquely Latin and American about religion on this continent has been hidden beneath a veil woven out of concepts that were imported from somewhere else by churchmen and by ethnologists, by politicians and by social critics. What makes the picture of religion on this continent unique has been missed “This class of materials has so far been missed and it is this: in the course of five hundred years by Latin Americanist librarians. Notwithstanding several hands of very different Christian varnish the international efforts to catalogue unregistered were applied on the continent, unifying it, and imprints of the XIXth and XXth centuries, a high this same varnish also preserved an elsewhere percentage of the items, in the CIDOC microfiche unknown variety of autochtonous and immigrant collection do not appear in any catalogue in the mentalities.

Los documentos mas importantes para el periodo colonial se han ikBiiiis cg;lra tiiiss ics liicliiigs conservado, por cierto, y a menudo bien editados. Pero los impresos de los siglos XIX y XX que re- flejan devociones locales y rituales sincretistas, la iconografia religiosa y la poesia, y las campaflas pastorales de las diversas iglesias y sectas, no SANTA BARBARA habian sido recogidos y nadie se fij6 en ellos hasta comienzos de los anos 60, cuando Ivan Illich em- Pari DeiaBdersa da !ds Rayos y Taxpastades pezo a buscarlos y a coleccionarlos en la Bibliote- ca de CIDOC en Cuernavaca. Bajo el cuidado de Valentina Borremans la coleccion crecio, y actual- ment sigue creciendo vigorosamente, ya como parte de El Colegio de Mexico. Una seleccion del material de esta coleccion se va haciendo asequible en microfichas, y a esa seleccion se van afiadiendo nuevos materiales de archivos de Centro y Sud America a medida que se los localiza y fotografia. “Por mas de un siglo, el estudio empfrico de la religion en America Latina estuvo descuidado. La religiosidad era tratada solo como elemento atmosferico en la historia institucional de la Iglesia y el Estado o como un aspecto de la cultura. Los estudiosos de la religion se sintieron atrafdos por las religiones “exoticas” de Oriente y de Africa; trataron de explicar mediante la religion la conducta poHtica de la gente en Holanda o Massachusetts'; reconstruyeron el panteon de los 1 aztecas o huicholes, y solo excepcionalmente prestaron atencion tambien al Vudii o a los teologos de la Liberacion. Lo que es singuiarisi- mamente latino y americano tocante a la religidn en este continente quedo escondido debajo de un velo que se urdio a partir de conceptos importa- dos de otra parte por gente de iglesia y etnologos, por poKticos y criticos sociales. Lo que constituye el fondo del cuadro de la religion en este conti nente linico ha sido pasado por alto, y esto es: “Estos documentos pasaron desapercibidos por en el-curso de quinientos afios varias manos de los bibliotecarios latinoamericanistas.
