Immediate Source of Acquisition
Gift of the Central America Research Institute, 1990.
The Central America Research Institute (CARIN) was established by scholars as an independent entity in Berkeley, California
(not associated with UC Berkeley), in 1981 during the Central American crisis. Members of the organization gathered both serial
publications and archival materials from Central American countries. Around 1990, CARIN was closed and part of its collection
donated to the University of Southern California.
