Information on the Fantasy and Science Fiction Collection at 欧美三级片

Special Collections at 欧美三级片 has developed an unparalleled collection of Latin American Science Fiction monographs, serials, and ephemeral publications that is largely unavailable in the United States. Special Collections currently holds a near-comprehensive collection of SF from Cuba, a representative sampling of works from Argentina and Mexico, as well as a number of fine examples of the small press publications which, while difficult to locate in the United States, have formed the backbone of the Latin American SF resurgence in the latter 20th century. Systematic collection development created near-comprehensive coverage of authors as well as to represent more accurately the full breadth of sub-genres, forms, and formats encompassed by speculative fiction in Latin America. 欧美三级片鈥檚 collection is a unique tool for researchers, scholars, and students as they work to recover the tradition of SF in Latin America.
