The reading room, named after the Hispanic Society in New York,
was dedicated in 1939 to serve as a focal point to orient and
assist researchers who seek to avail themselves of the immense
opportunities afforded by Luso-Hispanic materials throughout
the Library of Congress. The Hispanic Reading Room, as it is
usually called, serves as the primary access point for research
relating to those parts of the world encompassing the geographical
areas of the Caribbean, Latin America, and Iberia; the indigenous
cultures of those areas; and peoples throughout the world historically
influenced by Luso-Hispanicheritage, including Latinos in the
U.S., and peoples of Portuguese or Spanish heritage in Africa,
Asia, and Oceania.
