Guides: SPA 5302 Literary Theory, Research and Writing: Primary Sources

Spanish Language Primary Sources

As the Library of Congress states, "Primary sources are the raw materials of history." The materials in our collections are your history-- our history. Researchers, classes, and community members are encouraged and welcome to visit and use the unique materials housed here at Baylor University.

The libraries hold a significant amount of primary source physical materials in our special collections for you to use for your research. You can visit these collections online from our library home page. Click on the ‘Visit’ tab to see the Special Libraries. Most of the items in these libraries/collections are listed in the online catalog through OneSearch. Please contact your librarian if you need help locating items.

Some addtional primary souce databases are listed here:

Biblioteca virtual Miguel de Cervantes
A virtual library that presents texts and criticism relating to Spanish and Latin American culture. Also provides some spoken and written samples of texts of classic works, and videos of interviews with authors. Provides links to sites at major libraries, links to electronic reference works such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, calculators, maps, etc. Though wide-ranging, it is also dependent on what is available in digital format, so there are wide gaps and inclusions in the materials presented.
Teatro español del siglo de oro
A full text database of over 800 plays comprising 68 volumes written by the sixteen most prolific dramatists of the Spanish Golden Age (XVI and XVII centuries), including Lope de Vega, Calderon de la Barca and Tirso de Molina.
Latin American & Caribbean Digital Primary Resources
This site hosts a database of listings that provide links to open access digitized collections of primary sources that relate to Latin America and the Caribbean. Currently, the listings may be searched by country, genre/format, hosting institution, and collection title. Questions about the content of the listed collections or their links should be directed to the host library or archive. Please note that digital collections may be continuously added to. You are encouraged to revisit for updates and to revisit our site for newly added content to the database.
