Announcement

CENTRO’s Library & Archives will be undergoing exciting renovations over the next year to better serve our patrons! Starting November 27, 2025, our Library & Archives will be temporarily closed to the public through February 28, 2026. From March 2026 onwards, the Library & Archives will be accepting limited appointments through Spring 2027. Appointments must be requested at least 10 business days in advance, and walk-ins will not be accepted. For more information on CENTRO’s renovations, please click here.

CENTRO Library & Archives is a treasured place where researchers, academics, teachers, students, genealogists, filmmakers, and the community at large find primary (historical documents) and secondary sources about the history and culture of the Puerto Rican diaspora. Visitors can gain access to books, photographs, documents, artifacts, art, maps, oral histories, moving image and audio clips, and digitized or born digital material pertaining to stateside Puerto Ricans via our Library Catalog, Archival Database, and Digital Collections.
