Lending Library
The Latin American Studies Program offers a lending library of over 300 feature films and documentaries on Latin America. If you are a teacher, faculty or student in the U.S. or Canada you can borrow these materials for educational purposes at no charge for up to two weeks. Your only expense is return shipping. We ask you to insure the items for $100 (provided free by UPS.)
You can find the materials you need by searching our database. You can search by media type or country. Via keyword you can search for a title, author, director, or producer. Nearly all of our videos are in VHS format, but as our library grows we will be adding more DVDs.
Once you have found the item you want, fill out the on-line check out form. We will ship the item within one week. All requests must include an educational institution affiliation, a current address and phone number. If you are a teacher we prefer to ship directly to your school. We reserve the right to deny borrowing privileges when identifying information is inadequate. A charge of $100 will be assessed for items not returned to LASP.
Cornell faculty and students can pick up videos at our office, 190 Uris Hall.
We are constantly expanding our collection. If you do not find what you are looking for, or you want to recommend a video or other item for our collection, please send us an email with the information and the reasons you think we should acquire it.
