It consists of three components: the ​Sala Hispanoamericana​, the ​Hispanic Reference Collection​, and the ​Puerto Rican Community Archives​. Mr. Ayala has worked extensively with both Centro collections and the Puerto Rican Community Archives and will speak about some of the commonalities and connections across the collections and answer questions about resources available for research at the NJHRIC.
