Chile

The Chilean collections spotlight political and social conditions during the past four decades, particularly the period framed by the 1970 election of socialist Salvador Allende and the subsequent period (1973–93) of military rule under Augusto Pinochet. For the Pinochet era, collections concern human rights issues and free-market policies introduced to Chile. Other collections document relations between the United States and Chile in the 1970s and 1980s.
