The material gathered proved worth preserving at FSU. Houck explains, “The day that my students turned in their papers, I had FSU Special Collections staff scoop up the thousands of pages of newspaper coverage students had copied. Their work is now housed in our Emmett Till Archive.”

“In many ways this project would be incomplete without the “La politica porfirista según Pineda,” from invaluable support of CRL. Though Cornell holds many Latin Hijo del Ahuizote [Mexico, Agosto 3 American journals in various formats, we enlisted CRL to de 1902], [Año XVII, Tomo XVII, Num. 822, digitize a number of titles beyond those in our collections.” pp. 1418–1419] CRL collections http://catalog.crl.edu/ RL collaborated with Cornell University Library to support creation of the Latin American record=b2843643~S1 CJournals Project, hosted by the library. This digital portal leads to a wide range of Latin American popular serial literature published in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and Latin America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The journals now accessible through the portal feature political and social satire, literary works, commentary on current events, and news from the region.

The project was established by Tom McEnaney, now Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Spanish & Portuguese at the University of California, Berkeley, to give scholars across the globe better access to journals difficult to find in print form. Drawing upon serials from CRL and other collections in his own grant-funded research, McEnaney mines modern-era Latin American literature to explore connections between poets across the Americas, the rise of nationalist movements, and how translation disseminates literary movements across the world.

Cornell library’s Desiree Alexander notes that “In many ways this project would be incomplete without the invaluable support of CRL. Though Cornell holds many Latin American journals in various formats, we enlisted CRL to digitize a number of titles beyond those in our collections. To date, over a third of the 20 publications currently represented were provided by CRL, and with their help we hope this resource will continue to grow.”

Following previous cooperative efforts by major U.S. research libraries to collect comprehensive holdings of national gazettes, a particular challenge was obtaining the Iraq series.

However, ,ةيقارعلا عئاقولا) only scattered holdings of the Arabic version al-Waqāʼiʻ al-ʻIrāqīyah 1922–) existed in U.S. libraries. Further, volumes from the critical years of Saddam Hussein’s regime—1990–1999—were not available in any North American or European library due to economic embargoes prior to and during the Gulf War. Only through extensive investigation was CRL able to secure print copies for the project through a vendor in Baghdad. These scarce volumes (some only photocopies) were obtained by the vendor from a book market in Iraq.

Economic sanctions against “bad actor” governments can have a serious impact on academic research. Subject specialists in MEMP (Middle East Materials Project) report that political turmoil jeopardizes the availability of government documentation: few or very poor quality documents are printed, and embargoes can prohibit overseas sales.

As more official documents are distributed electronically, new complications will arise for research access. Online sources can be revised, restricted, and even obliterated at the discretion of regimes. For example, the website of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq is no longer accessible online. Gone with it are the most of the gazettes published by the interim regimes from 2003–2006, as are Iraqi government sites maintained prior to the fall of Saddam Hussein. Through the Carnegie-funded effort CRL harvested nearly 20,000 issues of gazettes from websites of seven countries, and is exploring how ongoing official documentation can be saved from obscurity.
