A Discussion on the Significance of Gloria Anzaldúa and Archival Collections
Roundtable Discussion
Speakers
A visual artist best known for her intricate drawings with surrealistic renderings. She was born in Valparaiso, Chile where she began
drawing at the age of eight. Liliana’s early paintings sought to process the trauma she had witnessed as a young woman in Chile. In her
native country Liliana experienced the dramatic political changes that followed the 1970 election of Salvador Allende and the subsequent
military coup which initiated a wave of human rights violations. She immigrated to the United States in 1977 and pursued studies in art at
Texas State University. Liliana’s art has been exhibited in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, and Italy. Liliana current work represents
images of children as immigrants and refugees transitioning into creatively crafted unknown worlds.
Laura I. Rendón is a student advocate, education scholar and consultant. A native of Laredo, Texas, Rendón’s work has focused on reducing
educational inequalities connected to college access, persistence and graduation of low-income, first-generation students. Rendón
developed “validation theory,” which has been extensively employed by scholars and educational organizations as the framework to work
with underserved student populations. Rendón is also a teaching and learning thought leader in the area of contemplative education.
Further, Rendón is author or editor of an extensive number of books, journal articles and practice and policy papers focusing on Latinx
student success. Rendón’s archives can be found at the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection Library, University of Texas-Austin.
Chicana feminist historian Antonia I. Castañeda received her BA at Western Washington State College, her MA at the University of
Washington, and her Ph.D. in U.S. History at Stanford University. Castañeda held teaching appointments in Chicano Studies and Women’s
Studies at the University of California in Santa Barbara and in the Departments of History at the University of Texas at Austin and St.
Mary’s University, San Antonio. Now retired from university teaching, Castaneda remains an active scholar as well as a public historian,
historical consultant and community activist.
Moderator
Is the daughter of Honduran parents, a native of New Orleans, and a child of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. I
live in Austin, Texas currently working as a Latin American Metadata Librarian. She received a Master of Science in
Information Studies with a focus on archival management, digital records, museum studies, and cultural policy and
nonprofit management from the University of Texas at Austin School of Information. Before that, Itza obtained a
dual-degree Bachelor of Arts in History and English with a concentration on creative writing and legal studies at the
University of Texas at San Antonio.
In her current position at LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Special Collection at UT, Itza works with
metadata through the use of post custodial methods for digital archives and cultural heritage collections with
partners in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia

QUESTIONS
● How was the nature of the research and teaching landscape prior to the inclusion of marginalized and
excluded voices (such as Anzaldua’s)
● What sorts of barriers exist (structurally, mentally, physically, legally, etc) to the diversification of
historical collections and materials
● How can institutions, organizations, and staff develop internal mechanism for greater representation?
● How would a broader historical narrative impact research, teaching, learning, well-being, etc?
● Has Anzaldua’s collection paved the way for others to create a space for their historical contributions?
How?
● How can Anzaldua’s collection and work create future opportunities for others to reclaim a space in
history?
● What are the other possibilities for Anzaldua’s archive and other similar collections? (specifically for uses
in the arts and sciences)
From an archivist’s point of view
archivist - the physical and human labor behind the materials, place, and
concept.
archive - typically refers to the physical place where materials are held
archives - usually refers to the actual materials held in archives
Archives (with a capital A) - theoretical concept oftentimes invoking
philosophers such as Jacques Derrida and his writings in Archive Fever. Big
emphasis hypotheticals and on the power structures of archive(s).
What is an archivist, archive, archives, and Archives
Brief Overview of Anzaldua Collection
The Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Special Collection acquired personal and
biographical materials, correspondence, written works, research materials,
photographs, audiovisual materials, and artifacts document the life and career of
Gloria Anzaldua in 2004-2005.
Since the acquisition, the Anzaldua archive has been one of the most heavily visited
