Brazilian Cultural Collection
The Brazilian Cultural Collection is an exciting new addition to the Marriot Library's expanding resources on Latin American culture. Originating from the Brazilian-American Institute in Washington, D.C., the Collection spans the twentieth century and comprises Brazilian art, film (both feature and documentary), music, and videos. Many of the sound recordings and films are historical documents that are difficult to find elsewhere.
Additionally, the collection will expose students of the Portuguese language to a broad range of expressions of Brazilian popular culture. Over a thousand items are available. This acquisistion will undoubtedly make the Marriott Library and The University of Utah a focal point for scholars and students of Brazilian culture and history.
The Brazilian Cultural Collection is catalogued as part of the main collection of the Marriott Library but can also be accessed as a discrete collection. To do so, follow these steps:
Go to the Marriott Library home page at:
