HIS 350L: Chile: From Revolution to Counterrevolution

Papers of Joyce Horman and Edmund Horman, wife and father of Charles Horman who was abducted and executed during Pinochet's September 1973 coup d'état in Chile. The Hormans sued Henry Kissinger and Nixon Administration officials over Charles Horman's wrongful death and its concealment.

Records from the office of George Alonzo Stanford, Assistant Cultural Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Santiago, Chile, document Stanford's work primarily in 1944-1945 to monitor and report on cultural events, as well as to foster cultural relations between the U.S. and Chile.

The personal and professional papers of George Lister (1913-2004), who served for sixty years as Foreign Service Officer and Human Rights Officer with the United States Department of State. Correspondence, reports and other documents detail his human rights work, speaking engagements and other affairs.

The Alice Embree Papers, 1962-2013, consist of original material, correspondence, copies of articles, leaflets, newspapers and journals of personal and political history related to civil rights, human rights, anti-war, women’s liberation, and social justice work during the sixties and seventies, and beyond. Her Chilean solidarity efforts are notable for this class, along with Chilean documents in the collection.

Mimeographed documents circulated by the Cristianos por el Socialismo group of Chile during the early 1970's. The collection includes materials from conferences, assemblies, weekly/monthly dispatches and other printed speeches/writings from the years 1971-1973.

Personal papers of Magda Portal, a Peruvian author, poet, and political activist. The collection documents Portal's writing and involvement with several political parties including the Popular Revolutionary Alliance for America (APRA), Partido del Pueblo, and the Peruvian Aprista Party (PAP). Because Peru borders Chile, materials in this collection may be of interest.
