- "The Archives of American Art, founded in 1954, is dedicated to the collection, preservation, and study of papers and other primary records of the history of the visual arts in the United States. Its collections are the world's largest single source for such information, and include the original records of American painters, sculptors, craftspeople, collectors, and dealers, as well as those of critics, historians, curators, societies, and institutions concerned with art in America. This guide is our first effort to identify the significant Latino and Latin American primary source material in the Archives of American Art."
- "The term Latino refers to Americans of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, and Central and South American descent. Latin American refers to Mexicans, Central and South Americans, and peoples of the Caribbean of Spanish and French heritage. For researchers investigating Spanish heritage in the Americas, artists of Spanish descent have been included for cultural comparison. Through the accumulation of these separate but interrelated collections, the Archives of American Art gathers together in one place cross-cultural documentation on such subjects as Mexican muralism in the United States, European and Latin American strains of Surrealism, New Deal art patronage, and the Chicano art movement."
