The Chicano Studies Program was first thought of in 1969 by the Education Policies Committee. In 1970 the Resident Instructional Staff approved a B.A. program in Chicano studies. Despite much local criticism about the program in 1972 the History Department expanded to offer a Chicano History, based on Chicano's personal interpretations of historical events. The course received much criticism from Chicano students as it was being taught by non Chicano people with no background in this area of study. Due to this the course was dropped as the university had no other professors they deemed fit to teach the course. The program itself suffered from low enrollment until the late 1980's. The program was later restructured and renamed.

Files from this collection include correspondence, pamphlets, meeting minutes, news paper clippings, photographs, reports, budget records, and vhs tapes.

This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.

All boxes contain correspondence, memoranda, reports, and project proposals related to the Chicano Studies program. Files are separated by subject matter. Some boxes, such as 6, contain material from both boxes 6 and 7. Box 10 contains photos. Box 12 contains video tapes that are labeled but the labeling system is unclear.

This collection is open and available for research use.
