About the Archives
Anzaldúa was a prolific writer, producing thousands of pages of poems, short stories, essays, and writing notas–the vast majority still unpublished. She also was very interested in the visual arts and made many small drawings, doodles, glifos, and more. As if she knew that she might be famous some day, she saved the vast majority of this material, creating her own archives.
You can access much of this work at the Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa Papers, located at the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection (University of Texas, Austin).
The collection is enormous and includes drafts of published poems, fiction, essays, and books, as well as unpublished essays, fiction, and poems; college papers, drawings, writing notas, research notes, correspondence, diabetes logs, journals, and much, much more. It’s overwhelming in its riches.
The archives are open to the public, but check ahead to ascertain hours, and look at the online finding aide in order to organize your time efficiently.
