Description
The Data Center records consist of portions of its enormous vertical file as well as admistrative files and a capture of the
organization's website. Not all vertical files from the center came to Bancroft. Some had been damaged by water and mold at
the Data Center's location in Oakland, California and were not selected for acquisition. Most of the file date from the 1970s
through the 1990s, but, because of the organization's roots as part of The North American Congress on Latin America, the Data
Center records also contain materials dating back to the 1960s. Data Center also acquired many materials via donation from
the public. In some subject areas, materials (often received as donations), date back the the 1930s
