Posters

The Latina Women’s League collection dates from 2005 to 2019. The majority of the items were produced by different board members of the league. The collection includes: correspondence, minutes, reports, legal documents, grant applications, newspapers, leaflets, a CD-ROM and posters. The collection covers topics such as the Gainesville Latino Film Festival, meetings, art, education, and community events. The items of the collection are written in English and Spanish.

This collection would be of interest to people interested in Latin American studies, Latin American Culture and those studying the experience of Latinos in Gainesville and women’s experiences and leadership in the United States.

The collection is arranged into four series:

Series 1: "Correspondence, 2005-2014" discusses different educational and health programs, celebrations for the Hispanic Heritage month and Gainesville Latino Film Festival, fund raising and publicity events, collaborations, grant opportunities, invitations and meetings.

Series 2: "General Files, 2005-2014" contains a list of accomplishments, community service projects, Latino literature, legal documents such as bylaws, articles of incorporation and a marketing contract.
