La Gente de Aztlan is a non-profit bilingual newsmagazine published by students at the University of California, Los Angeles. Since its inception
in 1971,
La Gente has provided in-depth information about art, education, health, and other issues that concern and affect the Chicana/o, Latina/o,
and Native American communities. Historically,
La Gente has targeted the youth of Los Angeles, reaching out to high schools as well as serving the needs of UCLA students. It has
also been distributed to select correctional facilities, colleges, and universities across the southwest.

The collection was processed by Helga Salinas in 2016. The finding aid was prepared by Doug Johnson in 2020.
This collection consists of office files, research material, and original submisions of stories, poetry, and art. There are
a large number of photographs, mostly of students and various protests, both on campus and in the larger community. There
is also an almost complete run of the publication from 1971 to 2011. Though the issues from Fall 1979 to Spring 1982 are missing,
every other issue from this forty year span is present. The CSRC retains digital copies of the issues that are physically
missing.
