Film and Video
Our Film & Media Collection contains over 500 titles of Puerto Ricans/Latinos documentaries and feature films. Mostly in VHS and DVD formats, they may be viewed in-house, and are borrowed by professors CUNY-wide for classroom presentations. They also circulate for use by elementary and secondary schools, universities, and both public and private organizations.
