The University of California, Riverside College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in collaboration with the Rivera Library announce a fundraising campaign to support a fellowship endowment which has been established to enhance Latin American Studies in the Rivera and the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences on the UC Riverside campus.

Funds from the endowment are for the purpose of providing scholarship and fellowship support to scholars interested in using the Chilcote Archive, the Latin American Perspectives Archive, and Latin American materials house in Rivera Library.

Professor Ronald Chilcote is donating his extensive collection of Latin American materials comprising more than ten thousand books and pamphlets along with research materials. Latin American Perspectives also is donating its archive dating from 1973 to the library.

Students and scholars will be the beneficiaries of the fellowship endowment. The goal is to enable researchers from all over the world to come to Riverside to use the resources and have portions of the costs covered by the endowment stipends. Because of the breadth of the Chilcote Archive, specialists in many fields will be drawn to use the resources, including Latin American, Iberian, and African scholars, and scholars from the fields of economics, political science, ethnic studies, history, and other areas in the social sciences and humanities.

Donations may be made by contacting Amy Smith, Director of Development, College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, University of California, Riverside. 909-827-2443.

In Addition, checks may be made out to UCR Foundation designating the Chilcote Fellowship Endowment and mailed to:
